[Gm] [C] [F]
[Eb] [Gm] [Bb]
Went to see [F] the [Eb] captain, [E] [A] strangest [Bb] I had found,
[Ebm] [Bb] Laid [D] my [Eb] proposition down, [Dm] [Cm] laid it on [F] the line.
[Gm] [F] I won't [Eb] slave for [Bb] Vegas, babe, [Dm] like wise [Cm] golden dudes,
[Eb] But I would [Bb] slave to learn the way [F] to sink [Eb] your [Bb] ship of fools,
Ship [F] of fools, [Eb] on a blue [Bb] sea.
Ship [F] of fools, [Eb] sail [Gm] away from me.
It was later than I thought when [E] I [Dbm] first believed you,
Now [Cm] I cannot share [F] your life, [Eb] ship [Bb] of fools.
[Bbm] [Bb] Saw your first ship [F]
sink and [Eb] drown [Db] from [E] rockin' up [Bb] the boat,
And [D] all that could [Eb] not sink or [Dm] swim [Cm] was just left there [F] to float.
I won't leave [Eb] you [Bb] driftin' down, [Dm] but what [Cm] makes me wild,
[Eb] With thirty [Bb] years upon my head, [F] to have [Eb] you [Bb] call me child.
Ship [F] of fools, [Eb] on a [Bb] blue sea.
Ship [F] of fools,
[Eb] sail [Gm] away from me.
It was later than I thought [E] when I first believed you,
Now [Cm] I cannot share [F] your life, [Eb] ship [Bb] of fools.
The bottle stand [F] is empty [Eb] [E] as they were filled [Bb]
before,
[Gb] Time there [G] wasn't plenty, [Cm] but from that cup [F] no more.
Though I could [Eb] not caution [Bb] all, [Dm] I still might [Cm] warn of you,
[Eb] Don't lend your [E] hand [Bb] to raise no flag, [F] atop [Eb] no [Bb] ship of fools.
Ship [F] of fools, [Eb] on a blue [Bb] sea.
Ship [F] of fools, [Eb] sail away [Gm] from me.
It was later than I thought when [E] I first believed you,
[Eb] Now [Cm] I cannot share [F] your life, [Eb] ship [Bb] of fools.
It [Gm] was later than I thought [E] when I first believed you,
Now [Cm] I cannot share [F] your life, [Eb] ship [Bb] of fools.
