🎸 Verse 1:
    E5
The convoy lights are dead ahead
E5
The merchantmen lay in their bed
    D5
The thump of diesels hammer down
       B5                           E5
In the oily sea, the killing ground
E5
Knuckles white, eyes alight
E5
He slams the hatch on the deadly night
  D5
A cunning fox in the chicken's lair
  C#5
A hound of Hell and the Devil don't care

Chill the hearts of fighting men

In open ocean wondering when

The lethal silver fish will fly

This boat will shiver, men will die

A cast of millions, a part to play

Killer, victim, fool for the day?

Obeying an order, men have to die

Us or them, a well-rehearsed lie

The lifeboat's shattered, the hull is torn

The tar black smell of burning oil

On the way down to Davy Jones

Every man for himself, you're on your own

The wolf eyes watch the crosswire

Stern tubes ready, aim and fire

They can pin some medal on your chest

Ah, in two more weeks, dead like the rest
