[Bb]
Tell me quick, sit on me feet,
[F] what's this all have to do with me?
[Cm] I spent all [Eb] my time at sea, [Bb] alone now.
Is there something else I should know?
[F] Something hidden down below?
[Cm] The level of [Eb] your [Bb] conversation?
Well, [Gm] it turned away [Cm] before the [F] answer.
Though [Gm] I yelled aloud, [Cm] he refused to [F] hear.
It became [Bb] too clear.
[Eb]
[Bb]
So it went as we put out.
[F] I was left in constant doubt.
[Cm] Everything I [Eb] asked about [Bb] seemed private.
The captain strolled the bridge one night.
[F] I stopped him in the evening light.
[Cm] To ask him would it [Eb] be alright [Bb] to join him.
[Gm] Well, he stood there [Cm]
like [F] some idol.
[Gm] And he listened [Cm] like [F] some temple.
And then he turned [Bb] away.
[Eb]
[Bb]
All along the faithful coast.
[F] We moved silent like a ghost.
[Cm] Timeless sea, [Eb] a tireless host [Bb] possessed us.
The wind came building from the cold northwest.
[F] And soon the waves began to crest.
[Cm] Crashing across [Eb] the forward deck, all [Bb] hands lost.
[Gm] I alone [Cm] survived [F] the sinking.
[Gm] I alone [Cm]
possessed [F] the tools.
On that ship [Bb] of fools.
[Eb]
[Bb]
Ship of fools.
[Eb]
[Bb] On that ship of fools.
[Eb]
[Bb] That ship of fools.
[Eb] [Bb]
