This Ships Going Down

A [A]gargantuan hole in the bow, will the ocean to enter all[E]ow.

Oh but [A]more a sin than [D]letting it in it's [E]letting our good fortune [A]out.

The [A]nest to the storm did succumb, while the crow hid his fear in the [E]rum.

And the [A]mast, it [D]broke and threw out the bloke and well [E]now he's surely my [A]chum.

Love [A]letters from under his bed, holds the cabin boy over his [E]head

A [A]futile try [D]to keep it dry what [E]tears have already [A]wet.

They were [A]penned by a girl in Merak, and the Javanese value their [E]tact.

[A]She'll conclude he's h[D]orribly rude 'cause he's [E]sure as hell not writing [A]back.

(Chorus)

[tracet]    [D]            [A]
'Cause this ship's going down

All on account of the [E]weather

[A]Though we'll drown

[D]There's no need to frown

'Cause we're [E]all going to[A]gether

And I [D]won't say "Woe is [A]me"

As I disappear into the [E]sea

[A]'Cause I'm in [D]good company

As we're [E]all going to[A]gether

(Verse 2)

I've had [A]women of every kind, but the only one truly was [E]mine

Is the [A]one at home [D]who'll be alone when [E]I am full-up with [A]brine.

For my [A]son I had always a plan, for to raise him as best as I [E]can.

Oh [A]well you can bet, my [D]only regret is to [E]not see him grow to a [A]man.

(Chorus)

[tracet]    [D]            [A]
'Cause this ship's going down

All on account of the [E]weather

[A]Though we'll drown

[D]There's no need to frown

'Cause we're [E]all going to[A]gether

And I [D]won't say "Woe is [A]me"

As I disappear into the [E]sea

[A]'Cause I'm in [D]good company

As we're [E]all going to[A]gether

(Verse 3)

I was [A]sinking down into the brine, when a curious sight caught my [E]eye.

[A]Seaman Shaft had [D]found him a raft and was [E]makin' a speedy [A]goodbye.

At the [A]risk of sounding absurd, I have always been good as my [E]word.

So a [A]fishgig I, lanced [D]into his eye and I [E]knocked his ass [A]overboard.

(Chorus)

[tracet]    [D]            [A]
'Cause this ship's going down

All on account of the [E]weather

[A]Though we'll drown

[D]There's no need to frown

'Cause we're [E]all going to[A]gether

And I [D]won't say "Woe is [A]me"

                        E [let ring]
As I disappear into the sea

Oh hell!

a [strum once]         d [strum once]
'Cause you've all been so good to me

         [E] [strum once]  [A]
So we're all going     together.
