Celtic Sea chords by Ghost Mice

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


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

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