Verse 1:
   Bm              Em
Finity’s End is a far—trav’lin’ ship
       G            A            Bm
and wide space is the deep that she knows.
    Bm                  Em
Infinity’s black is the emblem she bears,
    A                   Bm
and never a mark does it show.
    Bm                        Em
The stuff of dead suns is her iron and her steel;
   A                         Bm
in a nova’s light, she was made.
    Bm                      Em
She set out to travel the day she was born
    G               A              Bm
in the free—runnin’, longhaulin’ trade.

Chorus:
     Bm                      Em
And no sun can hold us and keep us for long,
         A                   Bm
for in—finity’s ours, and infinity’s free.
  Bm                     Em
No star can own her and no world’s her own,
    G      A         Bm
for Finity’s End is she.

Verse 2:
     Bm                          Em
The Company thought then they’d make them a law,
      A                          Bm
and have all the ships for their own.
      Bm                     Em
“You’re Company ships now and Company crews,
            G          A       Bm
and you’ll pay us and serve us alone.”

            Bm                     Em
James Robert the First was her captain that day,
        A                        Bm
and he sent out to crews in the deep:
  Bm                               Em
“Farewell to their ports and good luck to them all,
          G          A             Bm
for what they can’t catch they can’t keep.”

Chorus:
     Bm                      Em
And no sun can hold us and keep us for long,
         A                   Bm
for in—finity’s ours, and infinity’s free.
  Bm                     Em
No star can own her and no world’s her own,
    G      A         Bm
for Finity’s End is she.

Verse 3:

     Bm                      Em
And wonder to tell, Mother Earth changed her mind,
            A                       Bm
and she called back her magistrate too,
      Bm                      Em
for no ship would haul beyond Alpha or Pell,
       G          A           Bm
and no mail and no cargo got through.
      Bm                         Em
Then Union—side came with their ships and their guns
           A                       Bm
and they closed up the ports one and all.
        Bm                      Em
“You’ll all haul for us,” then the Union man said,
             G               A           Bm
“And you’ll come and you’ll go where we call.”

Chorus:
     Bm                      Em
But no sun can hold us and keep us for long,
         A                   Bm
for in—finity’s ours, and infinity’s free.
  Bm                     Em
No star can own her and no world’s her own,
    G      A         Bm
for Finity’s End is she.

Verse 4:

      Bm                      Em
Now Captain James Robert was vexed and annoyed,
         A                      Bm
and he sent out the word like before:
         Bm                         Em
“We’re free ships and crews and we go where we please,
           G           A           Bm
and we’ll haul you to hell and no more.”
      Bm                      Em
Then Unionside haulers like Candice and Fay,
        A                 Bm
Merry Gold, Carina, and Fame,
     Bm                         Em
From Unionside ports reached the wide deep of space,
          G      A           Bm
and to Finity’s End they all came.

Chorus:
     Bm                      Em
And no sun can hold us and keep us for long,
         A                   Bm
for in—finity’s ours, and infinity’s free.
  Bm                     Em
No star can own her and no world’s her own,
    G      A         Bm
for Finity’s End is she.

Verse 5:

     Bm                                Em
“Ah, well, now,” said Earth, “you must come to our side,
          A                        Bm
for there is no place left you can be.
      Bm                      Em
But Captain James Robert he sent out the word,
            G           A          Bm
that all ships from now on must be free.
     Bm                      Em
And no ship would come and no true ship would go,
           A                     Bm
but the traitor Shalleen and her kind.
   Bm                      Em               N.C.
Shalleen drifts in pieces around Shalleen Point,
      G      A             Bm
and never a rest will she find.

Chorus:
     Bm                      Em
And no sun can hold us and keep us for long,
         A                   Bm
for in—finity’s ours, and infinity’s free.
  Bm                     Em
No star can own her and no world’s her own,
    G      A         Bm
for Finity’s End is she.

Verse 6:

      Bm                        Em
The treaty was signed then and sealed and made sure,
    A                    Bm
for ports to be open to trade;
   Bm                         Em         N.C.
and borders there be none to check us or bind,

        A                       Bm
and no law on our decks but the law we have made.

Chorus:
     Bm                      Em
And no sun can hold us and keep us for long,
         A                   Bm
for in—finity’s ours, and infinity’s free.
  Bm                     Em
No star can own her and no world’s her own,
    G      A         Bm
for Finity’s End is she!
