[Ab] of the shipyard, [Ebm] first son of a [Ab]
revolter's.
[Gb]
[Ebm] He was raised [Ab] as the ship grew a shadow, [Ebm] a great hall would flood [Gb] out the [Ab] light of the sun.
[Ebm]
And six days a week he would [Ab] watch his poor father, a working man lived like a slave.
[Ebm]
He'd drink every [Bbm] night and [Ab] he'd dream of a future [Ebm] of money he never [Ab] would save.
[Dbm] Billy would cry when [A] he thought of the future.
[Ebm] Soon came a day when [Ab] the bottle was broken, [Ebm] they launched a great ship out [Ab] to sea.
[Gb] [Ebm] He felt he'd be left on [Ab] a desolate shore to [Ebm] a future he [Ab] desperately wanted to flee.
[Dbm]
What else was there for [A] a ship filled of sun, [B] a new ship to be built, new work to be done?
[Bbm]
They [B]
dreamed of a ship [Ab]
[Ebm]
they'd carry his father [Gb] and me, to [B] a place they would never be found,
[Ebm] to a [B] place [Db] far away [Ebm] from the sun.

[Ebm] our [Gb] working man works till the industry dies.
[Db] Billy would cry when [A] he thought of the future.
[Db] Then what [Gb] they called an [Ebm] industrial [Gb] accident, [Ebm] crushed those [Gb] he couldn't forgive.
[Ab] [Ebm] They brought [Gb] Billy's father [Ebm] back home in [Gb] an [Ebm] ambulance, breastwatch, [Gb] a check, [Ebm] maybe three [Gb] weeks to live.
[Dbm]
What else was there for [A] a river, dust and a [B] new ship to be built, new work to be done?
[Bbm] That night, he [B]
dreamed of a ship [Ab] he'd carry
[Ebm] his father and [Gb] me, to a [B]
place they could never be [Abm] found,

A [B] new castle ship with no [Ebm] thrulls,
