A G A
Like ships in a squall we rise and we fall
D A
We're plotting our course through the waves
A G A
Some masts are tall with sails so strong
D A
Others are tossed in the gale
A G A
We try to stay dry with salt in our eyes
D A
No moment to rest or complain
A G A
The moon isn't far a clear sky and stars
D A
Red sky at morn on your tail
G D G A
I'm not going to stand on the end of the pier
G D A
I'm not going to let you go down with the ship
G D G A
Raise up your anchor it's time to set sail
G D A
And I'm not going to let you go down
A G A
Like ships we were made to dance o'er our graves
D A
One false move and we could be thrown
A G A
Buried alive before our due time
D A
To rest at sixty below
A G A
So jibe while you can if there's danger ahead
D A
Stay on your course if you will
A G A
I'll throw you a line as waves start to rise
D A
Bail as your ship starts to fill
