She went down last October In a [G#m] pouring, driving [A] rain
The [Bm] skipper he'd been drinking [D] And the mate he felt [E] no pain
[A] Too close to [F#m] Three Mile Rock And she was dealt [A] her mortal blow
[F#] And the Mary [D] Ellen Carter settled low
[G#m] There were [A] just us five aboard her When she [E] finally was awash
[Bm] We'd worked like hell to save her [D] All heedless [E] of the cost
And [A] the groan she gave [F#m] as she went down [A] Caused us to proclaim
[D] That the Mary [E] Ellen Carter'd rise [A] again
[Bm] Well, [A] the owners wrote [F#m] her off Not [D] a nickel [E] would they spend
She [D] gave twenty years [Bm] of service boys And met her sorry [E] end
But [A] insurance [F#m] paid the loss to us [D] So let [A] her rest below
[Bm] Then they laughed at us And said we'd [E] have to go
But [A] we talked of her all winter [D] Some [E] days [A] around the clock
[D] She's worth a [Bm] quarter million Of boat and [E] at the dock
[A] And with every jar that hit the [D] bar We [A] swore we would remain
[D] And make the Mary [E] Ellen Carter rise [A] again
[Bm] Rise [E] again, [A] rise [C#m] [F#m] again
[D] That her name not be lost [A] To the [E] knowledge of men
[A] Those who loved her best [D] And [E] were with her [A] till the end
[D] Will make the Mary [E] Ellen Carter rise again
[A] Well, all spring now we've been with her On [D] a barge [E] lent by a friend
[Bm] Three dives a day in a hard hat suit And twice a head [E] the bends
Thank [C#m] God it's only sixty feet [D] And the currents [A] here slow
[D] Or I'd never [Bm] have the strength to [E] go below
[A] But we patched her rent Stopped up her [D] vents
[E] Dark patch and porthole down [D] Put cables [Bm] to her fore
And daft and girded [E] her round [A] Tomorrow [F#m] noon we'll hit the [D] air
And [A] then take up the strain [Bm] And watch the Mary [E] Ellen Carter rise [A] again
[B] Rise [E] again, [A] rise [F#m] again
[D] That her name not be lost [A] To the [E] knowledge of men
[A] Those who [F#m] loved her best [D] And were [E] with her [A] till the end
Will [D] make the Mary Ellen Carter [A] rise again
Oh, we couldn't [F#m] leave her there, you [D] see To [E] crumble [A] into scale
[Bm] She'd saved our lives so many times Living [E] through the gale
[A] And the laughing drunken rats [D] Who left her [A] to a sorry grave
[Bm] They won't be laughing in [E] another day
[A] And due to whom adversity [D] Has [E] dealt [A] a final blow
[Bm] With smiling bastards lying To you [E] everywhere you go
[A] Turn to and put out all your [D] strain From arm and heart and brain
[D] And like the Mary [E] Ellen Carter [A] rise again
[D] Rise [E] again, [A] rise again
[F#m] That [D] her name not be [A] lost To the knowledge [E] of men
[A] Those who loved [F#m] her best And [D] were with [E] her [A] till the end
Will [D] make the Mary Ellen [E] Carter [A] rise again
[D] Rise [E] again, rise [G#m] [F#m] again
Though your heart it be broken And life [E] about to end
No [A] matter what you've [F#m] lost Feel a home, a [A] love, a friend
[D] Like the Mary [E] Ellen Carter rise [A] again
Rise [E] again, [A] rise [F#m] again
[D] Like the Mary Ellen [A] Carter rise again
