F#m F#m Bm C#m Bm C#m
F#m F#m Bm C#m Bm C#m Em
[Verse 1]
F#mThe Greyhound's sinking in the waves, as fast the sea receives her
Curse the Reaper, Ebend your back and Dcheat your Esorry F#mgrave!
F#mAnd Captain Bryce is on her deck, so we, her hands, may leave her
Curse the Reaper, Ebend your back and Dcheat your Esorry F#mgrave!
[Chorus]
F#mCurse the EReaper cowled in C#mblack, he's laughing Dat your Efailing
F#mPull that Eoar until it C#mcracks, we're bound for better BmsaiC#mling
Bound for better BmsaiC#mling
F#m
[Verse 2]
F#mAt Bryce's word we went aloft, and fought the screaming bluster
Curse the Reaper, Ebend your back and Dcheat your Esorry F#mgrave!
F#mWe shortened sails and trimmed the ropes, with all that we could muster
Curse the Reaper, Ebend your back and Dcheat your Esorry F#mgrave!
[Chorus]
F#mCurse the EReaper cowled in C#mblack, he's laughing Dat your Efailing
F#mPull that Eoar until it C#mcracks, we're bound for better BmsaiC#mling
Bound for better BmsaiC#mling
F#m
[Verse 3]
F#mThe Greyhound fought to stay aright as, cruel, the wild waves tossed her
Curse the Reaper, Ebend your back and Dcheat your Esorry F#mgrave!
F#mBut when the mast began to crack, we knew that we had lost her
Curse the Reaper, Ebend your back and Dcheat your Esorry F#mgrave!
[Chorus]
F#mCurse the EReaper cowled in C#mblack, he's laughing Dat your Efailing
F#mPull that Eoar until it C#mcracks, we're bound for better BmsaiC#mling
Bound for better BmsaiC#mling
F#m
[Solo]
F#m   F#m   Bm  C#m  Bm C#m
F#m   F#m   Bm  C#m  Bm C#m
[Outro]
F#mSo put your back into it lads, and haul against the thunder
Curse the Reaper, Ebend your back and Dcheat your Esorry F#mgrave!
F#mAnd cry a prayer into the winds the ship won't pull us under
Curse the Reaper, Ebend your back and Dcheat your Esorry F#mgrave!
[Chorus]
F#mCurse the EReaper cowled in C#mblack, he's laughing Dat your Efailing
F#mPull that Eoar until it C#mcracks, we're bound for better BmsaiC#mling
Bound for better BmsaiC#mling
F#mCurse the EReaper cowled in C#mblack, he's laughing Dat your Efailing
F#mPull that Eoar until it C#mcracks, we're bound for better BmsaiC#mling
Bound for better BmsaiC#mling
