[Verse 1]
A/GOne daAy as I was sailing A/Gon the CarAibbean Sea
I spGied a little fishing vessel drAifting aimlessly
A/GHer sAails were torn and tattered, A/Gand her whAeel was spinning free
I tGold myself that little boat sure loAoks a lot like me
A/G A
[Verse 2]
A/GAs I pAulled along beside her A/Gand I clAimbed upon her deck
In the sGilence I could feel the hair a-rAising on my neck
AndA/G I thAought as I walked through theA/G empty qAuarters down below
That lGost abandoned vessel was the sAister of my soul
A/G A
[Chorus]
'Cause like a shDip without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide
And each dAay I'm drawing clGoser to the brAink
Just a spDeck upon the waters of an ocean deep and wide
I won't Eeven make a ripple when I sAink
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
B/AIn the eBmptiness my footsteps B/Awere like Bechoes in a cave
That sAeemed to say there ain't no way to leBave this floating grave
And wB/Ahen I scrBambled to the deck my sB/Ahip had vBanished like a dream
Leaving nAothing but the lonely waves to hBear my silent scream
B/A A
[Chorus]
'Cause like a shEip without a rudder I'm just drifting with the tide
And each dBay I'm drawing clAoser to the brBink
Just a spEeck upon the waters of an ocean deep and wide
I won't F#even make a ripple when I sBink
