   But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools

            It was later than I thought
             Edim7
                   When I first believed you

Eb                 Bb             F       Eb         Bb
With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child

Time there was, and plenty,    but from that cup, no more
                   Eb       Bb  Dm                    Cm

Eb                      Bb            F       Eb         Bb
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools
