[Verse 1]
C G F
Went to see the captain,
Adim7 C
Strangest I could find,
E F Em
Laid my proposition down,
Dm G
Laid it on the line.
F C
I won't slave for beggar's pay,
Em Dm
Likewise gold and jewels,
F C
But I would slave to learn the way
G F C
To sink your ship of fools.
[Chorus]
G F C
Ship of fools on a cruel sea,
G F Am
Ship of fools sail away from me.
Adim7
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Dm G F C
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
[Verse 2]
C G F
Saw your first ship sink and drown,
Adim7 C
From rockin' of the boat,
E F Em
And all that could not sink or swim
Dm G
Was just left there to float.
F C
I won't leave you drifting down,
Em Dm
But whoa it makes me wild,
F C
With thirty years upon my head
G F C
To have you call me child.
[Chorus]
G F C
Ship of fools on a cruel sea,
G F Am
Ship of fools sail away from me.
Adim7
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Dm G F C
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
[Verse 3]
C G F
The bottles stand as empty,
Adim7 C
As they were filled before.
E F Em
Time there was and plenty,
Dm G
But from that cup no more.
F C
Though I could not caution all,
Em Dm
I still might warn a few.
F C
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag,
G F C
Atop no ship of fools.
[Chorus]
G F C
Ship of fools on a cruel sea,
G F Am
Ship of fools sail away from me.
Adim7
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Dm G F C
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
[Outro]
Am Adim7
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
Dm G F C
Now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
