ALike ships in a squall we riDse and we faAll
We're ploGtting our course through the D/Awaves
ASome masts are tall with saDils so stroAng
GOthers are tossed in the gD/Aale
AWe try to stay dry with saDlt in our eAyes
GNo moment to rest or compD/Alain
AThe moon isn't far a clDear sky and sAtars
GRed sky at morn on your D/Atail
GI'm not going to stDand on the eGnd of the pAier
GI'm not going to let you go dDown with the sAhip
GRaise up your aDnchor it's tGime to set saAil
AAnd I'm not going to lDet you go down
ALike ships we were made to daDnce o'er our grAaves
GOne false move and we could be tD/Ahrown
ABuried alive beDfore our due tAime
GTo rest at sixty bD/Aelow
ASo jibe while you can if there's daDnger ahAead
GStay on your course if you wD/Aill
AI'll throw you a line as wDaves start to rAise
GBail as your ship starts to fD/Aill

D/A

A D A

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
