[F#m] [E] [F#m] [E]
[F#m] [C#m] He roars
[F#m] Rising [E]
[F#m] and falling with the slow swelling time
[A] Watching the clouds [C#] leave celestial [F#m] skies
On this [E] boat Atlantis [F#m] it's all [E] about [B] change
Makes me grateful [C#] the stars [F#m] stay the [E] same
[F#m] We left Wilhelmshaven so [E] long ago now
[A] With orders to hunt [F#m] allied merchantmen down
Each week we [E] alter [F#m] our [E] face to [B] disguise
For to creep [C#] up on [F#m] innocent [F#] eyes
[D] What a strange [A] life for a pirate survey
[C#] In this the [F#m] 20th [F#] century
[D] We want the world [A] to forget about us
As [C#] we sail by the light [A] of the [F#m] old southern [E] cross
[F#m] [C#m] [B] I forget what it's like [D] on dry land
I [B] forget what it's like [F#m] on [F#] Tate Stand

[A] A wilderness place [C#] we can rest for a [A] time
[F#m] Then [E] back to [F#m] this life where we cut and [B] run
Ship of the damned, [C#] [F#m] ghost with a gun
[D] What a strange life [A] for a pirate survey
[C#] In this the [C#m] [F#m] 20th century
[D] We want the world [A] to forget about us
