[Cm]
You lads see me dunk the glasses, wash the floors, make the beds, I'm the best [F] of such.
You can kindly throw me pennies and I'll thank you very [D#m] much.
You see me ragged and tattered in this dirty shit [G#m] hotel.
You don't know in hell who's talking.
You still don't know in hell [G#] who's talking.
[A#] [F#] Still one fine day there will [Bm] be roars from the harbour [F#] and you'll ask what is all that [Bm] screeching for.
[G] And you'll see me smiling as I dunk [B] the glasses [G] and you'll say what's she got [B] to smile at for.
[G]
[Bm] And the ship, eight [F#] sails shining, fifty [Em] -five cannons wide, sir, [G] waits [C#] there [B] at the [F#] quay.
[Cm]
You say work on, wipe the glasses my girl and you slip me a dirty [F] sixpence.
And your pennies will be taken and your beds will be [D#m] made.
I doubt forty winks will come anybody's way.
[G#m] You still don't know in hell who's talking.
You still don't know in hell who's talking.
[A#]
[F#] Still one fine day there will [Bm] be a loud bang from the harbour [F#] and you'll ask Jesus [Bm] Christ
what was that bang.
[G] And you'll see me standing right [C#m] behind the window [G] and you'll say why's she got [B] the evil eye.
[G#] [Bm] And the ship, eight [F#] sails shining, fifty [Em] -five cannons wide, sir, will [D] be aimed [C#] at [B] [F#] this town.
[Cm]
So then lads, time for tears, no more laughs.
The bar for the walls will be at [A] your ankles.
And [G] look out lads, the [A] town will be flat [C#] as the ground.
[D#m] This dirty shit hotel will be spared, rack and ruin.
[G#m] And you'll say who's the fancy bitch lives there.
You'll say who's the fancy bitch lives there.
[A#] [F#] There'll be rows of people [Bm] running round the hotel [F#] and you'll [D#m] ask why should they [Bm] have
spared this bubble.
And [G] you'll see me in the morning [B] leaving lightly [G] and you'll say that one, [B] her, [G] she lived there.
[Bm] The same ship, eight [F#] sails shining, fifty [Em]
-five cannons wide, sir, [A#] flies [C#] [Bm] crossbows [F#] and scull.
[Cm]
In the midday sun a hundred men will step ashore, all tramping where your [C#] shadows crawled.
They'll lay their hands on men hiding shit scared behind [Dm] doors, [D#m] lead them in chains here
before this silent woman [G#m] and they'll say well, which ones shall we kill?
They'll say which ones shall we kill?
[D#m]
Come the dot of twelve [G#] it [Bm] will be still in [F#] the harbour [C#] [D#m] when they ask me, well, who's
[Bm] going to die?
[C#] And [G] you'll hear [D] me [G] whispering oh [A] so [G] sweetly, all of them.
And as the soft heads fall [Dm]
I'll say [G] [B] hopla,
[Bm] that same ship, eight [F#] sails shining, fifty [Em] -five
cannons wide, sir, [E] disappears [C#] [B] with [F#] me.
