"The Ghost Ship" by Robyn Hitchcock
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
The ghost ship haunts the sea
F#m
to still come back and marry me
D A
The rust is where her heart should be tonight
D A
Her face is where her fingers were tonight
A
A glassy checkered engine room
F#m
The speechless silence of the tomb
D A
The manuscripts inside the womb unfurls
E
A girl
D
Translucent as a jelly fish
A F#m
that palpitates upon a dish
Bm G E
She stings you with her gently falling curl
D A
And sinking in the waters green tonight
D A
I wonder where my love has been tonight
[Verse 2]
A
The ghost ship changes course
F#m
and on the deck there stands a horse
D A
who's munching on sardines and gorse and hay
D A
The captain draws a net across the bay
A
The bubbles rising from the deep
F#m
where dead men sing themselves to sleep
D A
From oak and coral they deceive to say
E
Okay
D
You read my future like a chart
A F#m
See through my skin into my heart
Bm G E
That flutters in my ribcage like a bird
D E
And the ghost ship sails on into someone's life
