[Verse 1]
[Em]You people can watch while I'm
scrubbing these floors
And I'm scrubbin' the floors while
you're gawk[Aaug]ing
Maybe once you tip me and it
makes you feel swell
[F]In this cru[Gm]mmy Southern town
In this crummy [Cm]old h[Abm]otel[Ab]
[Cm]But you'll never guess
to who you're talkin'
[F]No,[Cm] you couldn't ever guess
to who you're [Dm]talkin'
[D][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[Gm]Then one night,
there's [Ebm]a scream in the night
And you'll [Em]won der w[F]ho
[Em]could [Ebm]that have been
And you see me kinda grinnin'
[Em]while I'm [C]scrub[Cm]bin'
And you say,
"What's she got to [Csus4]grin?"
[Gm]I'll [Em]tell you

[Verse 3]
[Ebm]There's a ship
The Black [Bb]Freighter[Bbm][Db]
[B]With a skull [Abm]on its masthead
Will [Db]be com[F]ing [Bb]in
[Em]

[Verse 4]
You gentlemen can say, "Hey gal,
finish them floors!
Get upstairs! What's wrong [G]with
you! Earn [F]your keep [Dm]here!
You toss me your tips and look
out to the [F]ships
But I'm [Cm]count[Gm]ing your heads as I'm making
the bed[Cm]s
'Cause there's nobody
gonna sleep here
To[F]night, [Cm]nobody's gonna sleep
[F]here, honey
[Bb]Nobody[F]
[Em]Nobo[F]dy
[Em][Dm][D]

[Verse 5]
[Dm][F]
[Gm]Then one [Cm]night,
[Ebm]there's a scream [Cdim]in the night
[Ebm]And yo[Cm]u say, "Who's that kicking
up a [Ebm]row?"[Cdim][Ebm]
[Gb]And you see me kinda starin'
[Cb]out the [C]window
And you [Abm]say, "What's she
got to stare at [C]now?"
I'll [Bb]tell you[Em]
[Ebm]There's a ship

[Verse 6]
[Gb][Abm][Ebm]
The Black [Bbm]Freighter[Em]
[Bb]Turns around in the harbor
Shootin' guns [Fdim]from her [Bb]bow
[Em]

[Verse 7]
Now
You gentlemen can wipe off that
smile off your face
'Cause every building in [G]town
is a flat [Aaug]one
This whole [F]frickin' place
will be down to the ground
Only [C]this [Gm]cheap hotel standing
up safe and sound
[C]And you [F]yell,
[Cm]"Why [F]do they spare that one?"
[Cm]Yes, that's what you say,
"Why do they spare that [F]one?"[C][D]
[Dm]All

[Verse 8]
[Gm]the night through,
[Ebm]through the noise and to- do
You [Gm]won der [Cm]who is that [F]person
that lives [Ebm]up there?
And you [Gb]see me s[Abm]tep pi[F]ng out
[Fm]in the morning[F]
[Dm]Looking nice with a[Em] ribbon in m[F]y hair,
[Ebm]haha
[Ebm]And the ship

[Verse 9]
The Black [Bbm]Freighter[Db]
[Ebm]Runs a flag u[Abm]p its masthea[Cbm]d
[Cb]And a cheer rings in[F] the air
[Bb][Bbm][Bb]

[Verse 10]
[Em]By noontime,
the dock is a- swarmin' with men
Comin' out from the
ghostly [Aaug]freighter
They're [Dm]moving'in the shad[Aaug]ows where
no one [Dm]can see
And they're [F]chainin' [C]up people,
and they're [F]bringin' em [Cm]to me
[F]Askin' me, "Kill [Cm]them now,
[Cdim]or later[Cm]?"
[F]Askin' [Cm]me, "Kill them [F]now,
or later?"
[Gm]Noon[C]

[Verse 11]
[F]by the clock [C]and[Cm]
[Ebm]so still [F]at the doc[Bb]k[Ebm]
[F]You can[Bb] hear a f[F]oghor[Bb]n miles [C]away[F][Ebm]
[F]and[Bb] in t[Bbm]hat quiet of[B] death[B]
I'll [Ebm]say, "Right now,
right now!"
Then they pile [B]up the

[Verse 12]
bodies
And I'll say, "That'll learn ya!"

[Verse 13]
And the [Ebm]ship[F#]
[Bbm]The Black [F#]Freighter
[Abm]Disappears out to sea
And
[F#]On
[F]It
Is
[Bb]Me
