[Verse 1]
Am Dm 'Twas quite the inky black night Am E7 Am All the weather vanes were turning and the constable was burning out his light Am Dm When lo our anchors went down, barnacle bound Am E7 Am The men were up and churning yes, and soon the square was burning to the ground Dm E7 And oh, the flames were as gold
[Chorus]
Am* F C G I scowl at the angry moon, I am sick on myself, I'm a bum Am* F E Am What have I become? A drunken maroon run aground in this rotten town
[Verse 2]
Am Dm It's been a fortnight or two Am E7 Am The mutineers are plotting 'gainst the captain as I'm rotting in the goo Am The constable was set to drown while the shabby scabs that went to town Dm Were reconnoitering with blades and guns Am E7 Am The ale had started spilling yes, and soon the crew was killing everyone Dm E7 And oh, the streets burned with gold Dm E7 But oh, my bones were so cold
[Chorus]
Am* F C G I scowl at the angry moon, I am sick on myself, I'm a bum Am* F C G E What have I become? A drunken maroon run aground in this rotten town
[Bridge]
A I stumbled down the harbor to the tavern on the square E And heard a raucous ruckus as it rang A D From some foul inebriates, some men I used to call my mates A E A Who were lost in song and this is what they sang A E They sang, "Hey, heigh, yo, ho! O'er the Atlantic we go! A D Drinking till we all get sick and coming up with limericks A E A But we never quite remember how they end F#m D A E I can see my childhood home, I think of my dear old mum Am* What have I become?
[Chorus]
Am* F C G I scowl at the angry moon, I am sick on myself, I'm a bum Am* F C G What have I become? A drunken maroon run aground in this rotten town Am* F C G I scowl at the angry moon, I am sick on myself, I'm a bum Am* F E What have I become? A drunken maroon run aground in this rotten town Am* F C G I scowl at the angry moon, I am sick on myself, I'm a bum Am* F E What have I become? A drunken maroon run aground in this rotten Am* In this rotten in this rotten town
