Like ships in a squall we ri
se and we fa
ll
We’re plo
tting our course through the[D/A] waves
Some masts are tall with sa
ils so stro
ng
Others are tossed in the g[D/A]ale
We try to stay dry with sa
lt in our e
yes
No moment to rest or comp[D/A]lain
The moon isn’t far a cl
ear sky and s
tars
Red sky at morn on your [D/A]tail
I’m not going to st
and on the e
nd of the p
ier
I’m not going to let you go d
own with the s
hip
Raise up your a
nchor it’s t
ime to set sa
il
And I’m not going to l
et you go down
Like ships we were made to da
nce o’er our gr
aves
One false move and we could be t[D/A]hrown
Buried alive be
fore our due t
ime
To rest at sixty b[D/A]elow
So jibe while you can if there’s da
nger ah
ead
Stay on your course if you w[D/A]ill
I’ll throw you a line as w
aves start to r
ise
Bail as your ship starts to f[D/A]ill
