Chords for Steeleye Span - The Black Freighter (Live) (Threepenny Opera)

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
You gentlemen can gawk while I'm scrubbing the floors, I'm scrubbing the floors while you're gawking
And maybe one shift at the end it made you feel so [C] well in this ratty waterfront in this ratty hotel
But you [F] never know to whom you're talking, you never [Fm] guess to whom you're talking
[D] _ [Eb] Suddenly one night [Abm] there's a scream in the night [Eb] and you know what the hell [Abm] _
_ [E] it is
And you'll see me kind of _ _ [Gm] green [Eb] scrubbing _ _
_ [E] And you'll see _ _ what [Eb] she called to green _ _
_ _ And [Abm] _ she _ _ _ _ treated _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ with [Db] a scotch mustard _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ Then [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ you gentlemen can say hey girls scrub the floors, make the beds, get off the stairs
And you turn your feet there and you pass out the tissue, you [A] look out of the sheets
But [Cm] I'm counting the pages, I'm making a [F] bed
Because tonight none of you will sleep here, tonight [Fm] none of you will sleep here
[Eb] Then on that night [Abm] there's a bang in the night [Eb] and you yell what the hell is [Abm] that noise
[E] And you'll see me kind of staring _ _ [Eb] at the wall
_ And _ [E] you'll see _ _ _ what she got [Eb] to [Dbm] stare [Eb] at _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Abm] And _ _ _ she's _ _ _ [Ebm]
a great _ _ _ [Eb] girl _ [Db] with fifty long _ _ tunnels
_ _ _ _ _ [B] Opens the [Bb] door
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Abm] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Then you gentlemen can wipe all the grime off your face, every building in the town is [Gb] a flat one
The whole stinking place will be downed to the ground
[Cm] All little steeple now will be standing safe and sound
[F] And you'll say why don't they spare her foam?
You'll [Fm] say why don't they spare her foam?
[Eb] Then all night [B] through with the noise of the [Eb] dew you'll wonder who's the person [Abm] that's up there
[E] And you'll see me stepping out into [Eb] the morning
_ _ Looking [E] _ _ nice with a ribbon in [Eb] my _ _ _ _ hand
_ _ [Abm] _
And the shape _ _ of the _ [Ebm] _ _ _ blighter _ _
[Db] Rounds the flag of a _ _ masthead
_ _ _ _ [B] And the [Bb] fear
_ [Ab] And _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
just before noon there'll be hundreds of men coming out of their clothes with raincoats
And they're moving in the shadows where no one can see
[Cm] And they're chaining up the people and they're bringing them to me
Ask [F] me, kill them now or later _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _ So _ [Abm] _ _ still _ _ [Ab] you [Eb] could hear the _ _ [Bb]
[Ab] fumbles _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _
in [E] the court _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gm] Kill them [Eb] now
_ _ _ And [E] they'll pile up their bodies and [Eb] I'll say _
_ And _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
the shape _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ of _ _ _ the [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
