[Verse 1]
[G]My [D]goo[Em]d ol[C]d[G]
captain said to me
[C]We shall be all at [G]sea
The [C]day that the ship [Em]goes down
[D]The [G]captain's drunk and
the crew as well
[C]Who'll be there to ring the [G]bell?
Who'll be there to ring the bell?
The [C]day that the ship [Em]goes down
[D]The[C] day that the ship goes dow[G]n
A shot of brandy in his hand
The [C]lookout will look out for land
[G]He will look and look for land
The [C]day that the ship goes [Em]down
[D]Whe[G]n things go bump at night
You're [C]lucky if you travel light
[G]You can learn to travel light
The [C]day that the ship goes [Em]down
The [C]day that the ship goes [G]down
Don't [D]fuss, don't cuss,
we'll ride on the [G]bus
[Em]Will there be room for [D]us?
The answer's getting [G]obvious.
[Em]Sister, [Am]beli[D]eve me,
some [G]will get down on their knees.
[C]Get me in the life of [G]peace,
Jesus, send the life of peace,
the [C]day that the ship [Em]goes [C]down.[G][C][G][C][Em][G]
[C][G][C][Em][D][C][G]
Oh, you [D]won't have time
to find your [G]clothes
[Em]So if you lose t[D]he boat,
grab something rich
that floats
Broth[Em]ers, [Am]beli[D]eve me[G][D]
[Em]
[C]My [G]good old captain said to me
We [C]shall be [G]all at sea
We shall be all at sea
The day that the [Em]ship goes down
[G]I'm not gonna wait to join in the hens, life [C]has taught [G]me how to swim,
me and the rats know how to swim, oh [C]the day [Em]that the ship goes [D]down.[G][Em]
[D]
[G]People, [Em]beli[Am]eve me[D]
[G]Welcome aboard our
honoured guests
We're al[C]ways here
to play re[G]quests
Who's got any last [Em]requests?
[G]A d[C]ay that the ship g[Em]oes down
[G]As you leave you'll understand
It's [C]quite okay to tip the band
[G]We take checks and crew grants
A [C]day that the ship [Em]goes down
[D]Oh, a [C]day that the ship goes [G]down[C][G][C][Em][G]
