The Ghost Ship haunts the sea
F#mto still come back and marry me
D Athe rust is where her heart should be tonight
her face is where her fingers were tonight
a glassy checkered engine room
F#mthe speechless silence of the tomb
D Athe manuscripts inside the womb unfurls_
a girl _
translucent as a jelly fish
Athat palpitates upon a dish
D A7 Eshe stings you with her gently falling curl_
D A
and sinking in the waters green tonight_
I wonder where my love has been tonight_
---repeat chords
The ghost ship changes course
and on the deck there stands a horse
who's munching on sardines and gorse and hay_
the captain draws a net across the bay_
The bubbles rising from the deep
where dead men sing themselves to sleep
from oak and coral they decieve to say_
okay_
you read my future like a chart
see through my skin into my heart
that flutters in my ribcage like a bird_
D E
and the ghost ship sails on in to some ones life_
---repeat chords
The air from bottles forms into
the skeletons of all the crew
in white they dance against the blue and wail_
their curling bodys flail around the sail_
The figure head before the mast
stares back into the golden past
across the wrinkled sea so vast, forlorn_
she moans_
and flutters 'round me like a moth
that beats against mosquito cloth
and trys to eat her way into my dreams_
and sinking in the waters green tonight_
I wonder where my love has been tonight_
---repeat chords
The melons on the riverbank
are bulging through decaying plank
the beauty is so warm and dank and light_
the captain wears a headless grin tonight_
and sillhoutted on a blue
the cook,the mate,the boseman too
they know not why or what they do at all_
they fall_
like masonry in the abyss
that opens every time we kiss
I hear their laughter echoe 'round the bay_
D Eand the ghost ship sails on into someones life_
---continue with A7,E and variations that trail off 'til the end.
