Voltaire - This ships going down

^DmA gargantuan hole in the bow Will the ocean to enter ^Aallow Oh what's ^Dmmore of a sin than ^Gmletting it in? ^AIt's letting our good fortune ^Dmout ^DmThe nest to the storm did succumb While the crow hid his fear in the ^Arum And the ^Dmmast it broke and threw ^Gmout the bloke And well ^Anow he's surely my c^Dmhum

^DmLove letters from under his bed Holds a cabin boy over his ^Ahead A ^Dmfutile try to ^Gmkeep it dry what ^Atears have already ^Dmwet ^DmThey were pinned by a girl in Merak And the Javanese value their ^Atact ^DmShe'll conclude he's ^Gmhorribly rude Cause he's ^Asure as hell not writing ^Dmback

^Gm'cause this ship's ^Cgoing ^Dmdown All on account of the ^Awhether ^DmThough we'll d^Gmrown There's no need to ^Afrown Cause we're all going ^Dtogether ^DmAnd I won't^Gm say "Woe is ^Dmme" As I disappear into the ^Asea Cause ^DmI'm in good comp^Gany As we're ^Aall going ^Dmtogether

^DmI've had women of every kind But the only one truly ^Awas mine Is the ^Dmone at ^Gmhome who'll be ^Aalone When I am full-up ^Dmwith brine ^DmFor my son I had always a plan For to raise him as best as I ^Acan Oh well ^Dmyou can bet My only ^Gmregret is to ^Anot see him grow to a ^Dmman

^Gm'cause this ship's ^Cgoing ^Dmdown All on account of the ^Awhether ^DmThough we'll d^Gmrown There's no need to ^Afrown Cause we're all going ^Dtogether ^DmAnd I won't^Gm say "Woe is ^Dmme" As I disappear into the ^Asea Cause ^DmI'm in good comp^Gany As we're ^Aall going ^Dmtogether

^DmI was sinking down into the brine When a curious sight caught my^A eye ^DmSeaman Shaft had found^Gm him a raft And ^Awas makin' a speedy ^Dmgoodbye ^DmAt the risk of sounding absurd I have always been good as my ^Aword So a ^Dmfish-gig, I^Gm, lanced into his ^Aeye And I knocked his ass ^Dmoverboard!

^GmCause this ship's ^Cgoing ^Dmdown All on account of the ^Aweather ^DmThough we'll ^Gmdrown There's no need to ^Afrown Cause we're all going ^Dmtogether And ^GmI won't say "Woe is ^Dmme" As I disappear into ^Athe sea

^CmCause yo^Gmu've all been so good to ^Dmme So we're ^Aall going toge^Dmther
