D  Dsus2  G  A

[Verse 1]
D                          Dsus2
There`s a man I meet, walks up our street,
G                              A
He`s a worker for the council, has been twenty years
D                               Dsus2
And he takes no lip off nobody, and litter off the gutter,
G                    A
Puts it in a bag, and never thinks to mutter
D                                            Dsus2
And he packs his lunch in a Sunblest bag, The children call him Bogie,
G                     A
He never lets on, but I know `cause he once told me
D                                Dsus2
He let me know a secret, about the money in his kitty,
G                            A                  D  Dsus2  G  A
He`s gonna buy a dinghy, gonna call her Dignity

[Chorus]
G                                           A
And I`ll sail her up the west coast, through villages and towns,
F#m                     Bm
I`ll be on my holidays, they`ll be doing their rounds
G                                       A
They`ll ask me how I got her, I`ll say, I saved my money
F#m                                  Bm F#m    G    A   D
They`ll say isn`t she pretty, that ship called Dignity

[Verse 2]
D                           Dsus2
And I'm telling this story, in a faraway scene
G                      A
Sipping down Raki, and reading Maynard Keynes
D                            Dsus2
And I'm thinking about home, and all that means
G                              A       D  Dsus2  G  A
And a place in the winter, for Dignity

[Chorus]
G                                           A
And I`ll sail her up the west coast, through villages and towns,
F#m                     Bm
I`ll be on my holidays, they`ll be doing their rounds
G                                       A
They`ll ask me how I got her, I`ll say, I saved my money
F#m                                  Bm F#m    G    A   D
They`ll say isn`t she pretty, that ship called Dignity

D                                                             Dsus2
Set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up
      G                                                                A
Yeah, set it up again, set it up again, set it up again, set it up again
D                                                             Dsus2
Set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up
      G                                                                A
Yeah, set it up again, set it up again, set it up again, set it up again

D                          Dsus2  G  A
And I'm thinking about home
D                           Dsus2  G  A
And I'm thinking about faith
D                          Dsus2  G  A
And I'm thinking about work
D                     Dsus2
And I'm thinking, how good it would be
      G            A
To be here some day
D                           Dsus2               G
On a ship called Dignity, a ship called Dignity
A
That ship...
