[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]The Ship of [C]Fools [G]is coming in[C][G]
Take me [C]off [G]I've got to [C]eat
[G]Same old[C] sto[G]ries same old[C] thi[G]ng
Letting [C]out and pulling [G]in[C]

[Verse 2]
Mis[G]ter, there's [C]a caravan
[G]parked out[C] back
[G]Restless hoping[C] for
a Christian [G]rider[C]
[G]The black book, a grap[C]pling hook
[G]A hangman's noose on [C]a
burnt [G]out tree
Guess we must [C]be getting close
to [G]Tombstone[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]The last time [C]we had eaten
Was [G]when the flies were
going [C]for free
[G]You could count the hardships
[C]by the open [G]door[C]s
But [G]sandwiched in [C]between
Were the [G]fishermen [C]who still
[G]Wished they could sai[C]l from
Tenessee to [G]Arizona[C]

[Verse 4]
[G]So hold [C]on, [G]won't be lon[C]g
[G]The call is on [C]the lin[G]e[C]
[G]Hold on,[C] Sister's gon[G]e
[C]South to give the sign

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]We picked up Dra[C]cula
in Mem[G]phis[C][G]
It was just [C]about the break of [G]day[C]
And then [G]hastily [C]prayed for
[G]out souls to [C]be saved[G]
There was something [C]in the air
that made us [G]kind of [C]weary[G][C]

[Verse 6]
By the [G]time we got to [C]Swansea
it was [G]getting [C]dark
[G]Tumble, jungles, [C]bugles and [G]the prize[C]
The [G]tides turned west [C]at Amerforth
As if they [G]didn't know what [C]to do
[G]But Garnant stood [C]its ground
and asked [G]for more[C]

[Verse 7]
[G]All the people [C]seemed quite
glad [G]to see [C]us
[G]Shaking hands [C]and smiling
like [G]the clock[C]
Well we [G]gave them all the mes[C]sage then
That the Ship [G]of Fools was [C]in
[G]Make sure they get[C] home
for [G]Christ[C]mas

[Verse 8]
So [G]hold [C]on, [G]won't be lon[C]g
[G]The call is [C]on the [G]line
[C]So [G]hold [C]on, Sister's [G]gone
[C]South to give the sign
