Album - Night Moves - #8 in 1976.

INTRO:
Bb

#1.
Bb F
Tell me, quick, said Old McFee..what's this all have
Cm Eb Bb
to do with me?..I've spent all my time at sea, a loner.
Bb F
Is there something else I should know?..something hidden
Cm Eb Bb
down below, the level of your conversation?
CHORUS:
Gm Cm F
Well, he turned away before the answer..
Gm Cm F
though I yelled aloud, he refused to hear.
Bb Eb Bb
It became too clear..

#2.
Bb F
So, it went as we put out..I was left in constant doubt..
Cm Eb Bb
everything I asked about seemed private.
Bb F
The captain strolled the bridge one night..I stopped him
Cm Eb Bb
in the evening light..to ask him would it be all right to join him.
CHORUS:
Gm Cm F
But he stood there like some idol..
Gm Cm F
and he listened like some temple..
Bb Eb Bb
and then he turned away.

#3.
Bb F
All along the fateful coast..we moved silent, like a ghost.
Cm Eb Bb
The timeless sea of tireless host possessed us.
Bb
The wind came building from the cold northwest..
F Cm Eb
and soon the waves began to crest, crashing cross the forward
Bb
deck..all hands lost.
CHORUS:
Gm Cm F
I alone, survived the sinking..
Gm Cm F
I alone, possessed the tools, on
Bb Eb Bb
that ship of fools.
