[Verse 1]
N.C.
My arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck
And this Emwhole ruddy ship is a Dhuge creaking Emwreck
We've flown Bten thousand Amiles with this Gthorn in our F#sides
Though the Emwind's steady, strong with no Dclouds in the Emskies
[Verse 2]
The Emropes creaking, ship's leaking, Dsails are on Emfire
And this Emwhole bloody ship could go Dup like a Empyre
Crew's got Bsmiles on their Afaces, but we've Gseen this beF#fore
No Emtelling just now what Dwe have in Emstore
[Verse 3]
The Emback-stabbing, loot-nabbing Dplans behind Emdoors
Running Emlow on the rum and deDpleting our Emstores
Can't tell Bwho's on our Aside and who's Gready to F#flip
When we Emhit the next port the whole Dcrew could jump Emship
[Verse 4]
With the Emmoods flaring, crew's glaring, Dcut-throats the Emlot
With a Emparanoid captain always Dsmelling a Emplot
We've worked Bhard on this Ajourney, but there's Gno land in F#sight
And beEmfore it's all ended there Dcould be a Emfight
[Verse 5]
My Emarms aching, back's breaking, Dlegs aching, Emneck
And this Emwhole ruddy ship is a Dhuge creaking Emwreck
We've flown Bten thousand Amiles with this Gthorn in our F#sides
Though the Emwind's steady, strong with no Dclouds in the Emskies
[Verse 6]
The Emropes creaking, ship's leaking, Dsails are on Emfire
And this Emwhole bloody ship could go Dup like a Empyre
Crew's got Bsmiles on their Afaces, but we've Gseen this beF#fore
No Emtelling just now what Dwe have in Emstore

[Verse 1]

N.C.

My arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck

Em D Em

And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck

B A G F#

We've flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides

Em D Em

Though the wind's steady, strong with no clouds in the skies

[Verse 2]

Em D Em

The ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire

Em D Em

And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre

B A G F#

Crew's got smiles on their faces, but we've seen this before

Em D Em

No telling just now what we have in store

[Verse 3]

Em D Em

The back-stabbing, loot-nabbing plans behind doors

Em D Em

Running low on the rum and depleting our stores

B A G F#

Can't tell who's on our side and who's ready to flip

Em D Em

When we hit the next port the whole crew could jump ship

[Verse 4]

Em D Em

With the moods flaring, crew's glaring, cut-throats the lot

Em D Em

With a paranoid captain always smelling a plot

B A G F#

We've worked hard on this journey, but there's no land in sight

Em D Em

And before it's all ended there could be a fight

[Verse 5]

Em D Em

My arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck

Em D Em

And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck

B A G F#

We've flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides

Em D Em

Though the wind's steady, strong with no clouds in the skies

[Verse 6]

Em D Em

The ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire

Em D Em

And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre

B A G F#

Crew's got smiles on their faces, but we've seen this before

Em D Em

No telling just now what we have in store
