[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
