[Verse 1]
Am E7
A gargantuan hole in the bow, will the ocean to enter allow
Am Dm E7 Am
Oh but more a sin than letting it in it's letting our good fortune out
Am E
The nest to the storm did succumb, while the crow hid his fear in the rum
Am Dm E7 Am
And the mast, it broke and threw out the bloke and well now he's surely my
chum
Am E7
Love letters from under his bed, holds the cabin boy over his head
Am Dm E7 Am
A futile try to keep it dry what tears have already wet
Am E7
They were penned by a girl in Merak, and the Javanese value their tact
Am Dm E Am
She'll conclude he's horribly rude 'cause he's sure as hell not writing back
[Chorus]
N.C. Dm Am
'Cause this ship's going down
E7
All on account of the weather
Am
Though we'll drown
Dm
There's no need to frown
E7 Am
'Cause we're all going together
Dm Am
And I won't say "Woe is me"
E7
As I disappear into the sea
Am Dm
'Cause I'm in good company
E7 Am
As we're all going together
[Verse 2]
Am E7
I've had women of every kind, but the only one truly was mine
Am Dm E7 Am
Is the one at home who'll be alone when I am full-up with brine
Am E7
For my son I had always a plan, for to raise him as best as I can
Am Dm E7 Am
Oh well you can bet, my only regret is to not see him grow to a man
[Chorus]
N.C. Dm Am
'Cause this ship's going down
E7
All on account of the weather
