Like ships in a squall we rise and we fall
G D/A
We're plotting our course through the waves
A D A
Some masts are tall with sails so strong
G D/A
Others are tossed in the gale
A D A
We try to stay dry with salt in our eyes
G D/A
No moment to rest or complain
A D A
The moon isn't far a clear sky and stars
G D/A
Red sky at morn on your tail
G D G A
I'm not going to stand on the end of the pier
G D A
I'm not going to let you go down with the ship
G D G A
Raise up your anchor it's time to set sail
A D
And I'm not going to let you go down
A D A
Like ships we were made to dance o'er our graves
G D/A
One false move and we could be thrown
A D A
Buried alive before our due time
G D/A
To rest at sixty below
A D A
So jibe while you can if there's danger ahead
G D/A
Stay on your course if you will
A D A
I'll throw you a line as waves start to rise
G D/A
Bail as your ship starts to fill
