[G] [C]
You crafted and caressed her [G] with a careful hand
But the lady didn't [C] understand
And you riveted and plaited her till morning
But with a [D] coil or a careless [C] spark
Or a tumble in the dark
She'd leave her mark [G] upon you without warning
You can [Am]
[C] float a boat of steel upon the ocean
You [Am] can fix it [C] up with nuts and bolts and toil
[Am] But you can't [C] weld your body when it's broken, no
While the lady, she's as fair as Desdemona
She swallowed you up [D] just like Jonah
[C] And there the air inside her belly ailed you
And [D] no one saw you fall
And they did not hear your call
[C] And your breath it faltered [G] just before [D] it failed you
And you can [Am]
[Em] float a boat [C] of steel upon the ocean
You [Am] can fix it up [C] with nuts and bolts and toil
[Am] Oh, but you can't [C] weld a body when it's broken, [G] no
[C]
[D]
On a cruiser that was fitted by your father
You anchored in San Carlos Harbor
[C] But the lady at the helm, she was not for turning
And your bell-bottoms blew in April, eighty-two
You bid adieu [G] and watched all you knew burning
And you [Am] can float a [C] boat of steel upon the [G] ocean
You [Am] can fix it up [C] with nuts and bolts and toil
[Am] Oh, but you can't [C] weld a body when it's broken
You can float a boat of steel upon the ocean
You can fix it up with nuts and bolts and toil
Oh, [Am] but you can't [C] weld a body when it's broken, no
