Tom: Dm
Dm
A gargantuan hole in the bow
A7
Will the ocean to enter allow
Dm Gm
Oh what's more of a sin than letting it in?
A7 Dm
It's letting our good fortune out
Dm
The nest to the storm did succumb
A7
While the crow hid his fear in the rum
Dm Gm
And the mast it broke and threw out the bloke
A7 Dm
And well now he's surely my chum
Dm
Love letters from under his bed
A7
Holds a cabin boy over his head
Dm Gm A7
A futile try to keep it dry what tears
Dm
have already wet
Dm
They were pinned by a girl in Merak
A7
And the Javanese value their tact
Dm Gm
She'll conclude he's horribly rude
A7
Cause he's sure as hell not writing
Dm
back
Gm Dm
Because this ship's going down
A7
All on account of the weather
Dm
Though we'll drown
Gm
There's no need to frown
A7 Dm
Cause we're all going together
Gm Dm
And I won't say "Woe is me"
A7
As I disappear into the sea
Dm Gm
Cause I'm in good company
A7 Dm
As we're all going together
Dm
I've had women of every kind
A7
But the only one truly was mine
Dm Gm
Is the one at home who'll be alone
A7 Dm
When I am full-up with brine
Dm
For my son I had always a plan
A7
For to raise him as best as I can
Dm
Oh well you can bet
Gm A7
My only regret is to not see him grow
Dm
to a man
Gm Dm
Cause this ship's going down
A7
All on account of the weather
Dm
Though we'll drown
Gm
There's no need to frown
A7 Dm
Cause we're all going together
Gm Dm
And I won't say "Woe is me"
A7
As I disappear into the sea
Dm Gm
Cause I'm in good company
A7 Dm
As we're all going together
Dm
I was sinking down into the brine
A7
When a curious sight caught my eye
Dm Gm
Seaman Shaft had found him a raft
A7 Dm
And was makin' a speedy goodbye
Dm
At the risk of sounding absurd
A7
I have always been good as my word
Dm Gm
So a fish-gig, I, lanced into his eye
A7 Dm
And I knocked his ass overboard!
Gm Dm
Cause this ship's going down
A7
All on account of the weather
Dm
Though we'll drown
Gm
There's no need to frown
A7 Dm
Cause we're all going together
Gm Dm
And I won't say "Woe is me"
A
As I disappear into the sea
Oh hell!
Gm Dm
Cause you've all been so good to me
A A7 Dm
So we're all going together
