Tell me quick, said old McPhee,
[F] what's this all have to do with me?
[Cm] I spent all my [Eb] time at sea
[Bb] alone.
Is there something else I should know?
[F] Something hidden down below [Cm] the level of [Eb] your
[Bb] conversation?
[Gm] Well, it turned away [Cm] before [F] the answer.
[Gm] Though I yelled aloud, [Cm] he refused [F] to hear.
It became [Bb] too clear.
[Eb]
[Bb]
So it went as we put out.
[F] I was left in constant doubt.
[Cm] Everything [Eb] I asked about seemed [Bb] private.
The captain strolled the bridge one night.
[F] I stopped him in the evening light [Cm] to ask him would [Eb] it be all right [Bb] to join him.
[Gm] Well, he stood there [Cm]
[F] like some idol.
Well, [Gm] I listened [Cm] like [F] some temple.
And then it turned [Bb] away.
[Eb]
[Bb]
All along the faithful coast,
[F] we moved silent like a ghost.
[Cm] Timeless sea, [Eb] a tireless host [Bb] possessed us.
The wind came building from the cold northwest.
[F] And soon the waves began to crest.
[Cm] Crashing across [Eb] the forward deck, [Bb] all hands lost.
[Gm] I alone [Cm] survived [F] the sinking.
[Gm] I alone [Cm] possessed [F] the tubes on that ship [Bb] of fools.
[Eb]
[Bb] Ship of [Eb] fools.
[Bb] On that ship of fools.
[Eb]
[Bb] That ship of fools.
[Eb] [Bb]
