Em                    D             Em
And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck
            B            A               G            F#
We've flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides
           Em                            D             Em
Though the wind's steady, strong with no clouds in the skies

[Verse 2]
    Em                              D            Em
The ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire
         Em                         D         Em
And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre
           B               A                G           F#
Crew's got smiles on their faces, but we've seen this before
   Em                    D          Em
No telling just now what we have in store

[Verse 3]
    Em                          D            Em
The back-stabbing, loot-nabbing plans behind doors
        Em                   D           Em
Running low on the rum and depleting our stores
           B            A              G        F#
Can't tell who's on our side and who's ready to flip
        Em                          D               Em
When we hit the next port the whole crew could jump ship

[Verse 4]
         Em                             D               Em
With the moods flaring, crew's glaring, cut-throats the lot
       Em                      D          Em
With a paranoid captain always smelling a plot
             B            A                    G          F#
We've worked hard on this journey, but there's no land in sight
      Em                        D          Em
And before it's all ended there could be a fight

[Verse 5]
   Em                            D            Em
My arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck
         Em                    D             Em
And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck
            B            A               G            F#
We've flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides
           Em                            D             Em
Though the wind's steady, strong with no clouds in the skies

[Verse 6]
    Em                              D            Em
The ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire
         Em                         D         Em
And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre
           B               A                G           F#
