This old city looks dead in the morning light

[Verse 2]
Em G
I know my ways are cruel and unrefined
A C
But I honed my game on fools and drunken minds

For ten long years I preyed on the rabble I know
A Em
But I gave myself to the well-known devil I don’t
[Chorus]

When my ship comes in to call
A
I will throw this knife in the river
Em
I will give my best to love

On the day my ship comes in to call

On the day my ship comes in to call

Em
I gave myself to a play that wasn’t mine (When my ship comes, when my ship comes)
Em
I played my part like a well-heeled concubine (When my ship comes, when my ship comes)

When my ship comes in to call
A
I will throw this knife in the river
Em
I will give my best to love

On the day my ship comes in to call (When my ship comes, when my ship comes)
