[Verse 1]
      Am         Am
They had a last supper
     G          Am       Am
The day of the Beaching
         Am                C
She's a dead ship sailing
  Em           Em  Em
Skeleton Crew
     F         F
The galley is empty
      C             Am      Am  Am  Am
The stove pots are cooling
F             F              Am  Asus4  Am  Am
 With what's left of the stew
 
[Verse 2]
     Am          Am
The time is approaching
     G            Am    Am
The captain moves over
     Am               C
The hangman steps in
        Em       Em       Em
To do what he's paid for
          F             F
With the wind down the tide
           C           Am      Am  Am
She goes proud ahead steaming
         F         F              Am   Am  Am  Am
And he drives her hard into the shore
 
[Chorus]
C  C   Em   Em        F    F  F
So    far from the Clyde
F            Dm   Dm  Dm
Together we ride
Dm        F    F  F  F
We did ride
 
[Interlude]
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
 
[Verse 3]
   Am       Am
As if to a wave
          G           Am     Am
From her bows to her rudder
  Am         C        Em            Em     Em
Bravely she rises to meet with the land
F            F             C              Am     Am  Am
Under their feet they all feel her keel shatter
      F          F            Am    Am  Am  Am
The shallow see washes their hands
 
[Solo]
| Am   | (Am)  | G/B  | (G/B) |
| Am/C | (Am/C)| G    | (G)   |
| G    | F     | (F)  | (F)   | (F) |
| Am   | (Am)  | (Am) | (Am)  |
 
[Verse 4]
 Am        Am
Later the captain
        G              Am      Am
Shakes hands with the hangman
      Am           C
And climbs slowly down
       Em         Em       Em
To the oily wet ground
       F           F            C            Am       Am  Am
Goes 'bout to the car that has come here to take him
         F            F           Am   Am  Am  Am
To the graveyard and back to the town
 
[Chorus]
C  C   Em   Em        F    F  F
So    far from the Clyde
F            Dm   Dm  Dm
Together we ride
Dm        F    F  F  F
We did ride
 
[Interlude]
| Am | Am | Am | Am |
 
[Verse 5]
      Am           Am
They pull out her cables
     G            Am      Am
And hack off her hatches
     Am         C            Em       Em     Em
Too poor to be wasteful with pity or time
       F           F            C          Am    Am  Am
They swarm on her carcass with torches and axes
         F            F          Am   Am  Am  Am
Like a whale on the bloody shoreline
 
[Verse 6]
   Am            Am
Stripped of her pillars
      G             Am     Am
Her stays and her stantions
             Am        C            Em         Em      Em
When there's only her bones on the wet poison land
  F                F            C          Am       Am  Am
Steel ropes will drag her with winches and engines
          F        F            Am   Am  Am  Am
'Til it's only a stain on the sand
 
[Chorus]
C  C   Em   Em        F    F  F
So    far from the Clyde
F            Dm   Dm  Dm
Together we ride
        F    F/E  Dsus2  Dsus2/A
We did ride
 
[Chorus]
C  C   Em   Em        F    F  F
So    far from the Clyde
F            Dm   Dm  Dm
Together we ride
Dm      F    F  F  F
We did ride
