Hear the rime of the ancient mariner
                D
See his eye as he stops one of three

    C
And the music plays on, as the bride passes by
D                       Em D
Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale


Verse 2:
Em
Driven south to the land of the snow and ice
             D
To a place where nobody's been
Em
Through the snow fog flies on the albatross
C                 D      Em
Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings

    C
And the ship sails on, back to the north
D                         Em D
Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on

Verse 2:
Em                 D
The mariner kills the bird of good omen
Em                   D
His shipmates cry against what he's done
Em                    D
But when the fog clears, they justify him
Em
And make themselves a part of the crime

    C        D         Em D Em
Sailing on and on and north across the sea
    C        D         Em D Em
Sailing on and on and north 'til all is calm


Verse 4:
Em                   D
The albatross begins with its vengeance
Em                 D
A terrible curse, a thirst has begun
Em                     D
His shipmates blame bad luck on the mariner
Em
About his neck, the dead bird is hung

    C         D        Em D Em
And the curse goes on and on and on at sea
    C         D         Em D Em
And the curse goes on and on for them and me


Verse 5:
Em
"Day after day, day after day
               D
We stuck nor breath nor motion
  Em
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
D
Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink
Em
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink"

Em G D Em
