We now reach the penultimate song, which happens to be one of my favorites on the album, because it's
actually PLAYED with an accordion, which I've mentioned before is what I used to figure out all these chords.
They should transfer over to stringed instruments well and good. Now, if any of you lucky yahoos out there
actually own an accordion, you can make this song sound the best by alternating the strumming (or button
presses, rather) between the bass chord and the major chord. It gives it a nice jaunty, pirate-like,
sea-faring feel. Same feeling as The Mariner's Revenge Song by The Decemberists.

GHOST MICE: EUROPE
"Celtic Sea"
AAt the last minute everyDthing was okay
AWe bought our tickets, we were Eon our way
It Acost us six hundred and Dsixty-six Francs
But Athat didn't Emean anyAthing
AOn our way to Ireland Don a French boat
And Ashe had a Spanish Ecaptain
He Awelcomed us aboard and Dtold us some jokes
AWe tried our Ebest to laugh Aat them
AHe said, "Oh no, oh no, ohD no, oh no
We can't Ahave any women on Ehere
Don't you Aknow, don't you know, don't you Dknow, don't you know
ATruckers are like Epirates, my Adear"
He Asaid not to worry, it was Donly a joke
And Ahe showed us to our Eroom
And Aas I was throwing my Dpack on the bed
A Aman came in Ebehind Ayou
Said, A"Hey, little lassie, Dare you alone?
Do you Aneed some compaEny?"
AThen he saw me and Dhe turned to leave
ASayin' he Ewas sorAry
AWe closed our door and Dwe locked it shut
And Ajumped up on our fluffy Ebeds
ABlankets and pillows were a Dluxury to us,
We had Atwenty-four Ehours with Athem
TheA captain he knocked and Dhe woke us up
He Atold us it was time to Eeat
There wasA cake, there were fries, there were Dall sorts of drinks
AndA then we looked Eout at the Asea
The Awaves, the waves, the Dwaves, they rose
AUp, up thirty Efeet
Then Adown, down, Ddown they'd go
And our Astomachs Estarted to Asink

The Acaptain, the captain, well Dhe saved our lives
He Agave us some tiny white Epills
AWe went to sleep for the Drest of the ride,
Woke Aup to the Esight of green Ahills
