( verse 1 )
A E
a gargantuan hole in the bow , will the ocean to enter allow .
A D E A
oh but more a sin than letting it in it’s letting our good fortune out .
A E
the nest to the storm did succumb , while the crow hid his fear in the rum .
A D E A
and the mast , it broke and threw out the bloke and well now he’s surely my chum .
A E
love letters from under his bed , holds the cabin boy over his head
A D E A
a futile try to keep it dry what tears have already wet .
A E
they were penned by a girl in merak , and the javanese value their tact .
A D E A
she’ll conclude he’s horribly rude ’cause he’s sure as hell not writing back .
( chorus )
[ tracet ] D A
’cause this ship’s going down
E
all on account of the weather
A
though we’ll drown
D
there’s no need to frown
E A
’cause we’re all going together
D A
and i won’t say “woe is me”
E
as i disappear into the sea
A D
’cause i’m in good company
E A
as we’re all going together
( verse 2 )
A E
i’ve had women of every kind , but the only one truly was mine
A D E A
is the one at home who’ll be alone when i Am full – up with brine .
A E
for my son i had always a plan , for to raise him as best as i can .
A D E A
oh well you can bet , my only regret is to not see him grow to a man .
( chorus )
[ tracet ] D A
’cause this ship’s going down
E
all on account of the weather
A
though we’ll drown
D
there’s no need to frown
E A
’cause we’re all going together

E
as i disappear into the sea
A D
’cause i’m in good company
E A
as we’re all going together
( verse 3 )
A E
i was sinking down into the brine , when a curious sight caught my eye .
A D E A
seaman shaft had found him a raft and was makin’ a speedy goodbye .
A E
at the risk of sounding absurd , i have always been good as my word .
A D E A
so a fishgig i , lanced into his eye and i knocked his ass overboard .
