[Verse 1]
Am Dm
'Twas quite the inky black night
Am E7 Am
All the weather vanes were turning and the constable was burning out his light
Am Dm
When lo our anchors went down, barnacle bound
Am E7 Am
The men were up and churning yes, and soon the square was burning to the ground
Dm E7
And oh, the flames were as gold
[Chorus]
Am* F C G
I scowl at the angry moon, I am sick on myself, I'm a bum
Am* F E Am
What have I become? A drunken maroon run aground in this rotten town
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
It's been a fortnight or two
Am E7 Am
The mutineers are plotting 'gainst the captain as I'm rotting in the goo
Am
The constable was set to drown while the shabby scabs that went to town
Dm
Were reconnoitering with blades and guns
Am E7 Am
The ale had started spilling yes, and soon the crew was killing everyone
Dm E7
And oh, the streets burned with gold
Dm E7
But oh, my bones were so cold
[Chorus]
Am* F C G
I scowl at the angry moon, I am sick on myself, I'm a bum
Am* F C G E
What have I become? A drunken maroon run aground in this rotten town
[Bridge]
A
I stumbled down the harbor to the tavern on the square
E
And heard a raucous ruckus as it rang
A D
From some foul inebriates, some men I used to call my mates
A E A
Who were lost in song and this is what they sang
A E
They sang, "Hey, heigh, yo, ho! O'er the Atlantic we go!
A D
Drinking till we all get sick and coming up with limericks
A E A
But we never quite remember how they end
F#m D A E
I can see my childhood home, I think of my dear old mum
Am*
What have I become?
[Chorus]
Am* F C G
I scowl at the angry moon, I am sick on myself, I'm a bum
Am* F C G
What have I become? A drunken maroon run aground in this rotten town
Am* F C G
I scowl at the angry moon, I am sick on myself, I'm a bum
Am* F E
What have I become? A drunken maroon run aground in this rotten town
Am* F C G
I scowl at the angry moon, I am sick on myself, I'm a bum
Am* F E
What have I become? A drunken maroon run aground in this rotten
Am*
In this rotten in this rotten town
