[F#] The greyhound sinking [F#m] in the waves as the sea receives her
Curse [E] the ripper, bend your [D] back and cheat your [F#m] sorry grave
And Captain Bryce is on the deck so we her hands may leave her
Curse the [E] ripper, bend your [D] back and cheat your [F#m] sorry grave
Curse [E] the ripper, [C#m] cowl in black, he's laughing at your [F#m] failing
All [E] that or [C#m] until it cracks, we're bound for better sailing
Bound for better _ sailing
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
At Bryce's word we went aloft and fought the screaming blister
Curse [E] the ripper, bend your [D] back and cheat your [F#m] sorry grave
We shortened sails and [F#] drank the ropes with all that [F#m] we could muster
Curse the [E] ripper, bend your [D] back and cheat your [F#m] sorry grave
Curse [E] the ripper, [C#m] cowl in black, he's laughing at your [F#m] failing
All [E] that or until [C#m] it cracks, we're bound for better sailing

The greyhound fought to stay right as cruel the wild waves blister
Curse the [E] ripper, bend your [D] back and cheat your [F#m] sorry grave
But when the mast began to crack we knew that we had lost her
Curse the [E] ripper, bend your [D] back and cheat your [F#m] sorry grave
Curse [E] the ripper, [C#m] cowl in black, he's laughing at your [F#m] failing
All [E] that or until [C#m] it cracks, we're bound for better sailing

[F#m] So put your back into it lads and haul against the thunder
Curse the [C#] ripper, bend your back [D] and cheat your sorry [F#m] grave
And cry a prayer into the winds the ship won't pull asunder
Curse the [E] ripper, bend your back [B] and cheat [F#m] your sorry grave
Curse [E] the ripper, [C#m] cowl in black, he's laughing at your [F#m] failing
All [E] that or until [C#m] it cracks, we're bound for better sailing
[F#m] Curse [E] the ripper, cowl [C#m] in black, he's laughing at your [F#m] failing
