_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ First I will [C] describe the scene to [Dm] you
Do you have it right? _
_ In 1944 [C] the Reno, she went down
_ [Dm] She went down with [C] four thousand prisoners [Dm] asleep on board _ _ _
_ _ Well now do [C] you, I want to know [Dm] with you
_ Have it right, is it right?
The borders of a dream [Am] have taken you inside
_ _ _ _ [Dm] The Reno was [C] a mighty ship
[Dm] Four [Am] thousand prisoners [G] _ strong
_ [C] The captain he [Am] was gallant
_ [Dm] Or perhaps he was a prisoner [G] too
_ [Am] Who's to know for sure, [G] who's who?
_ [C] _
One night [Am] it was very late
[C] The Reno tore [Am] its side
_ [C] Four thousand prisoners [Am] and the captain
They [Dm] were trapped inside
[G] _ _ _ [Am] Has there been any news?
[C] I feel so out of place
[Am] The captain's always busy being in a state of grace
[Dm] But what I want to know is
_ _ _ [Am] _
I understand
_ _ _ _ [C] _
The clues they [Am] were, the story you know
[C] _ _
Blinded [Am] by their blood
_ [C] The captain he [Am] whispered always
But you could [C] not hear him above [Am] the flood
And [C] then somebody said
[Am] Well the ocean is here
But someone [C] said no [Am] there's more
[C] And the last thing I [Am] remember
_ [Dm] Is a broken hand swinging [G] to the captain's door
[Am] Has there been any news?
[G] I feel so out of place
[Am] The captain's always busy being in a [C] state of grace
[Dm] But what I want to know _ _ _ is Anybody [Am] listening?
_ _ [Dm] _ Is anybody [Am] listening?
_ _ [Dm] _ Is [Am] anybody listening?
