[Verse 1]
AmWhen I came home from the Anzio shore, I got me a job at a GShiretown store
GI married up quick, we had the one son, my limit was hit and my Amrace was run
AmWe raised him right and we put him through school, with a gentle embrace and an Giron rule
GOur world was shattered when we lost our son, to the business end of a Amgangster's gun
[Chorus]
CHow do you go from the FBernhardt CLine (a burned out light?)
CTo chasing anonymous Gships in the night?
CHow do you live with a Flingering Cghost?
COhhhGh with a Amrun on the banks
COhhhGh with a Amrun on the banks
Am G Am
[Verse 2]
AmWhen they buried my boy of 22 years, I swore I'd do more than Gchoke on my tears
GSo I hardened up my heart, took up the oath, and looked for ways to aAmvenge us both
AmMe and his mother, we never were the same, she left me one spring and GI am to blame
GI forgot about living, forgot about her, forgot about love and the Amway things were
[Chorus]
CHow do you go from the FBernhardt CLine (a burned out light?)
CTo chasing anonymous Gships in the night?
CHow do you live with a Flingering Cghost?
COhhhGh with a Amrun on the banks

[Verse 3]
AmSixteen guns, 25 kilos, a couple thousand rounds when we Grun her aground
GThe crew bailed out and headed for the hills, with a barrel of blow and a Ammountain of pills
AmNo arrest in her majesty's waters, no victory for the Gmothers and fathers
GOf the young and the damned, the guilty walk free, to continue their trade on a Amcruel black sea
[Chorus]
