N.C.

My arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck And this ^Emwhole ruddy ship is a ^Dhuge creaking ^Emwreck We've flown ^Bten thousand ^Amiles with this ^Gthorn in our ^F#sides Though the ^Emwind's steady, strong with no ^Dclouds in the ^Emskies

The ^Emropes creaking, ship's leaking, ^Dsails are on ^Emfire And this ^Emwhole bloody ship could go ^Dup like a ^Empyre Crew's got ^Bsmiles on their ^Afaces, but we've ^Gseen this be^F#fore No ^Emtelling just now what ^Dwe have in ^Emstore

The ^Emback-stabbing, loot-nabbing ^Dplans behind ^Emdoors Running ^Emlow on the rum and de^Dpleting our ^Emstores Can't tell ^Bwho's on our ^Aside and who's ^Gready to ^F#flip When we ^Emhit the next port the whole ^Dcrew could jump ^Emship

With the ^Emmoods flaring, crew's glaring, ^Dcut-throats the ^Emlot With a ^Emparanoid captain always ^Dsmelling a ^Emplot We've worked ^Bhard on this ^Ajourney, but there's ^Gno land in ^F#sight And be^Emfore it's all ended there ^Dcould be a ^Emfight

My ^Emarms aching, back's breaking, ^Dlegs aching, ^Emneck And this ^Emwhole ruddy ship is a ^Dhuge creaking ^Emwreck We've flown ^Bten thousand ^Amiles with this ^Gthorn in our ^F#sides Though the ^Emwind's steady, strong with no ^Dclouds in the ^Emskies

The ^Emropes creaking, ship's leaking, ^Dsails are on ^Emfire And this ^Emwhole bloody ship could go ^Dup like a ^Empyre Crew's got ^Bsmiles on their ^Afaces, but we've ^Gseen this be^F#fore No ^Emtelling just now what ^Dwe have in ^Emstore
