      Am         Am
They had a last supper

     G          Am       Am
The day of the Beaching

         Am                C
She's a dead ship sailing

  Em           Em  Em
Skeleton Crew

     F         F
The galley is empty

      C             Am      Am  Am  Am
The stove pots are cooling

F             F              Am  Asus4  Am  Am
 With what's left of the stew
[Verse 2]
     Am          Am
The time is approaching

     G            Am    Am
The captain moves over

     Am               C
The hangman steps in

        Em       Em       Em
To do what he's paid for

          F             F
With the wind down the tide

           C           Am      Am  Am
She goes proud ahead steaming

         F         F              Am   Am  Am  Am
And he drives her hard into the shore
[Chorus]
C  C   Em   Em        F    F  F  
So    far from the Clyde

Together we ride

We did ride
[Interlude] | Am | Am | Am | Am | | Am | Am | Am | Am | | Am | Am | Am | Am | [Verse 3]
   Am       Am
As if to a wave

          G           Am     Am 
From her bows to her rudder

  Am         C        Em            Em     Em
Bravely she rises to meet with the land

F            F             C              Am     Am  Am
Under their feet they all feel her keel shatter

      F          F            Am    Am  Am  Am
The shallow see washes their hands
[Solo] | Am | (Am) | G/B | (G/B) | | Am/C | (Am/C)| G | (G) | | G | F | (F) | (F) | (F) | | Am | (Am) | (Am) | (Am) | [Verse 4]
 Am        Am
Later the captain

        G              Am      Am
Shakes hands with the hangman

      Am           C
And climbs slowly down

       Em         Em       Em
To the oily wet ground

       F           F            C            Am       Am  Am
Goes 'bout to the car that has come here to take him

         F            F           Am   Am  Am  Am
To the graveyard and back to the town

So    far from the Clyde

Together we ride

Dm        F    F  F  F
We did ride
[Interlude] | Am | Am | Am | Am | [Verse 5]
      Am           Am
They pull out her cables

     G            Am      Am
And hack off her hatches

     Am         C            Em       Em     Em
Too poor to be wasteful with pity or time

       F           F            C          Am    Am  Am
They swarm on her carcass with torches and axes

         F            F          Am   Am  Am  Am
Like a whale on the bloody shoreline
[Verse 6]
   Am            Am
Stripped of her pillars

      G             Am     Am
Her stays and her stantions

             Am        C            Em         Em      Em 
When there's only her bones on the wet poison land

  F                F            C          Am       Am  Am
Steel ropes will drag her with winches and engines

          F        F            Am   Am  Am  Am
'Til it's only a stain on the sand
[Chorus]
C  C   Em   Em        F    F  F  
So    far from the Clyde

F            Dm   Dm  Dm
Together we ride

We did ride
[Chorus]
C  C   Em   Em        F    F  F  
So    far from the Clyde

F            Dm   Dm  Dm
Together we ride

Dm      F    F  F  F
We did ride
