| Sank a palace by the sea |
G Em Cma7 D |
| When my ship went down |
G G7 C Cmin D D7 |
| Friends who's hearts were gold to me, gifts that ne'er again can be neath the water brown |
| |
G Emin Cma7 D |
| O there you, tie old ship today |
G Emin Cma7 D |
| 'Neath the sand bars stiff and gray |
G G7 C Cm D D7 |
| You who proudly sailed away to another town |
| |
A F#min Bm E |
| Now the ocean's bitter cup |
A F#m Bm E |
| Leaves behind your trembiling lips |
A A7 D Dm E E7 |
| Now on deathly woes you sup and your humbled pride looks up from disaster's grips |
| |
A F#min Bm E |
| Ruined nets around you weave |
A F#m Bm E |
| But I have no time to grieve |
A A7 D Dm E A |
| I will promptly, I believe, build another ship |
