(Verse 1)
Cm G A gargantuan hole in the bow, will the ocean to enter allow. Cm Fm G Cm Oh but more a sin than letting it in it's letting our good fortune out. Cm G The nest to the storm did succumb, while the crow hid his fear in the rum. Cm Fm G Cm And the mast, it broke and threw out the bloke and well now he's surely my chum. Cm G Love letters from under his bed, holds the cabin boy over his head Cm Fm G Cm A futile try to keep it dry what tears have already wet. Cm G They were penned by a girl in Merak, and the Javanese value their tact. Cm Fm G Cm She'll conclude he's horribly rude 'cause he's sure as hell not writing back.
(Chorus)
[tracet] Fm Cm 'Cause this ship's going down G All on account of the weather Cm Though we'll drown Fm There's no need to frown G Cm 'Cause we're all going together Fm Cm And I won't say "Woe is me" G As I disappear into the sea Cm Fm 'Cause I'm in good company G Cm As we're all going together
(Verse 2)
Cm G I've had women of every kind, but the only one truly was mine Cm Fm G akm Is the one at home who'll be alone when I am full-up with brine. Cm G For my son I had always a plan, for to raise him as best as I can. Cm Fm G Cm Oh well you can bet, my only regret is to not see him grow to a man.
(Chorus)
[tracet] Fm Cm 'Cause this ship's going down G All on account of the weather Cm Though we'll drown Fm There's no need to frown G Cm 'Cause we're all going together Fm Cm And I won't say "Woe is me" G As I disappear into the sea Cm Fm 'Cause I'm in good company G Cm As we're all going together
(Verse 3)
Cm G I was sinking down into the brine, when a curious sight caught my eye. Cm Fm G Cm Seaman Shaft had found him a raft and was makin' a speedy goodbye. Cm G At the risk of sounding absurd, I have always been good as my word. Cm Fm G Cm So a fishgig I, lanced into his eye and I knocked his ass overboard.
(Chorus)
[tracet] Fm Cm 'Cause this ship's going down G All on account of the weather Cm Though we'll drown Fm There's no need to frown G Cm 'Cause we're all going together Fm Cm And I won't say "Woe is me"
E [let ring]
As I disappear into the sea
Oh hell!
am [strum once] dm [strum once]
'Cause you've all been so good to me
G [strum once] Cm So we're all going together.
