C#m F# E B
[Verse 1]
B F# E Fm B
Went to see the captain, strangest I could find
B D# E D#m C#m F#
Laid my proposition down, Laid it on the line
E B D#m C#m
I won't slave for beggars’ pay, likewise gold and jewels
E B F# E B
But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools
{ CHORUS }
F# E B
Ship of fools on a cruel sea
F# E G#m
Ship of fools sail away from me
G#m
It was later than I thought
Fm
When I first believed you
C#m F#
Now I cannot share your laughter
E B
Ship of fools
[Verse 2]
B F# E Fm B
Saw your first ship sink and drown from rocking of the boat
B D# E D#m C#m F#
And all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float
E B D#m C#m
I won't leave you drifting down, but whoa it makes me wild
E B F# E B
With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child
{ CHORUS }
F# E B
Ship of fools on a cruel sea
F# E G#m
Ship of fools sail away from me
G#m
It was later than I thought
Fm
When I first believed you
C#m F#
Now I cannot share your laughter
E B
Ship of fools
[Verse 3]
B F# E Fm B
The bottle stands as empty, as they were filled before
B D# E D#m C#m F#
Time there was, and plenty, but from that cup, no more
E B D#m C#m
Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few
E B F# E B
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools
{ CHORUS }
F# E B
Ship of fools on a cruel sea
F# E G#m
Ship of fools sail away from me
G#m
It was later than I thought
Fm
When I first believed you
C#m F#
Now I cannot share your laughter
E B
Ship of fools
G#m
It was later than I thought
G#m
When I first believed you
C#m F#
Now I cannot share your laughter
E B
Ship of fools
