Celtic Sea chords by Ghost Mice

Chords with lyrics

We now reach the penultimate song, which happens to be one of my favorites on the album, because it's
actually PLAYED with an accordion, which I've mentioned before is what I used to figure out all these chords.
They should transfer over to stringed instruments well and good. Now, if any of you lucky yahoos out there
actually own an accordion, you can make this song sound the best by alternating the strumming (or button
presses, rather) between the bass chord and the major chord. It gives it a nice jaunty, pirate-like,
sea-faring feel. Same feeling as The Mariner's Revenge Song by The Decemberists.

GHOST MICE: EUROPE

"Celtic Sea"

A augmentedA            D MajorD
At the last minute everything was okay
A augmentedA               E MajorE
We bought our tickets, we were on our way
  A augmentedA            D MajorD
It cost us six hundred and sixty-six Francs
  A augmentedA      E MajorE    A augmentedA
But that didn't mean anything

A augmentedA           D MajorD
On our way to Ireland on a French boat
  A augmentedA         E MajorE
And she had a Spanish captain
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
He welcomed us aboard and told us some jokes
A augmentedA      E MajorE       A augmentedA
We tried our best to laugh at them


A augmentedA             D MajorD
He said, "Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
     A augmentedA         E MajorE
We can't have any women on here
     A augmentedA                D MajorD
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
A augmentedA         E MajorE      A augmentedA
Truckers are like pirates, my dear"


  A augmentedA             D MajorD
He said not to worry, it was only a joke
  A augmentedA          E MajorE
And he showed us to our room
  A augmentedA          D MajorD
And as I was throwing my pack on the bed
 A augmentedA      E MajorE   A augmentedA
A majorA man came in behind you

   A augmentedA          D MajorD
Said, "Hey, little lassie, are you alone?
    A augmentedA       E MajorE
Do you need some company?"
A augmentedA         D MajorD
Then he saw me and he turned to leave
A augmentedA     E MajorE   A augmentedA
Sayin' he was sorry


A augmentedA           D MajorD
We closed our door and we locked it shut
  A augmentedA            E MajorE
And jumped up on our fluffy beds
A augmentedA              D MajorD
Blankets and pillows were a luxury to us,
    A augmentedA      E MajorE     A augmentedA
We had twenty-four hours with them


  A augmentedA            D MajorD
The captain he knocked and he woke us up
  A augmentedA           E MajorE
He told us it was time to eat
     A augmentedA                  D MajorD
There was cake, there were fries, there were all sorts of drinks
  A augmentedA        E MajorE     A augmentedA
And then we looked out at the sea


  A augmentedA           D MajorD
The waves, the waves, the waves, they rose
A augmentedA       E MajorE
Up, up thirty feet
   A augmentedA      D MajorD
Then down, down, down they'd go
    A augmentedA    E MajorE     A augmentedA
And our stomachs started to sink

  A augmentedA             D MajorD
The captain, the captain, well he saved our lives
  A augmentedA            E MajorE
He gave us some tiny white pills
A augmentedA            D MajorD
We went to sleep for the rest of the ride,
   A augmentedA     E MajorE       A augmentedA
Woke up to the sight of green hills
