Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Went to see the cap[D]tain,[C]
[C#dim7]strangest I could find[G]
Laid [B]my propo[C]sition down,
[Am]laid it on the line[D]
I won't slave for [C]beggar's [G]pay,
[Bm]likewise gold and jewe[Am]ls
[C]But I would slave to lea[G]rn the way
to [D]sink [C]your ship of [G]fools

[Chorus 1]
Ship of [D]fools on [C]a cruel s[G]ea
Ship of [D]fools sail a[C]way from [Em]me
It was later than I thought
[C#dim7]when I first believed you
Now I [Am]can not share your l[D]aughter,
[C]ship of foo[G]ls

[Verse 2]
[G]Saw your first ship sin[D]k and dro[C]wn
[C#dim7]from rocking of the boat[G]
And all [B]that could not [C]sink or swim
[Am]was just left there to float[D]
I won't leave you [C]drifting [G]down
[Bm]but whoa it makes me w[Am]ild
[C]With thirty years upon [G]my head
to [D]have [C]you call me [G]child

[Chorus 2]
Ship of [D]fools on [C]a cruel s[G]ea
Ship of [D]fools sail a[C]way from [Em]me
It was later than I thought
[C#dim7]when I first believed you
Now I [Am]can not share your l[D]aughter,
[C]ship of foo[G]ls

[Verse 3]
[G]The bottles stand as emp[D]ty[C]
[C#dim7]as they were filled before[G]
Time there [B]was and [C]plenty,
[Am]but from that cup no more[D]
Though I could not [C]caution [G]all,
[Bm]I still might warn a few[Am]
[C]Don't lend your [C#dim7]hand to raise [G]no flag
a[D]top [C]no ship of [G]fools

[Chorus 3]
Ship of [D]fools on [C]a cruel s[G]ea
Ship of [D]fools sail a[C]way from [Em]me
It was later than I thought
[C#dim7]when I first believed you
Now I [Am]can not share your l[D]aughter,
[C]ship of foo[G]ls
It was [Em]later than I thought
[C#dim7]when I first believed you
Now I [Am]can not share your l[D]aughter,
[C]ship of foo[G]ls
