INTRO

Cm Cm/Eb Cm/D

We were only doing what the captain said

Cm/Eb Cm/D

We all went down with the ship

The Crow's Nest splintered on the figurehead

Cm/Eb Cm/D

We all went down with the ship

The kamikaze pilots and the virgin assassins

Cm/Eb Cm/D

Were told they would reach paradise

Down is an army with following orders

Cm/Eb Cm/D

Can see it in these zealous eyes

They pulled out the monsters lie deep in the mind

Cm/Eb Cm/D

We all went down with the ship

The bayonets rusted on the firing line

Cm/Eb Cm/D

We all went down with the ship

I heard of all the men who were sent to the trenches

Cm/Eb Cm/D

And those with the unmarked graves

Horrors of the British in the Boer War

Cm/Eb Cm/D

A Charge of the Light Brigade

Fm6 Cm

And it's a long long way down

G/D

To the bed of the sea

Fm6 Cm

Oh I will sink until she

Bb7

She covers me

We'll suffer for another man's falling

Bb G/B Cm

Blindsided by an ego that can't stop

We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say

We all fall under the spell of the charmer

Bb G/B Cm

Devil's tongue from the shepherd to his flock

Ab Abm6/Cb

We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say

We all went down with the ship

For the good and the evil and the noble empire

Cm/Eb Cm/D

We all went down with the ship

And the gentle persuasion of the master's hand

Cm/Eb Cm/D

Shadowed in the ark of his rule

This history lesson takes a measure of sand

Cm/Eb Cm/D

As as it twists and distorts every truth

Fm6 Cm

And it's a long long way down

G/D

To the bed of the sea

Fm6 Cm

Oh I will sink until she

Bb7

She covers me

We'll suffer for another man's falling
