VERSE:
 G            Dm
Cold cold ashes on the ground
Am             G
 Nothing lost and nothing found
  G              Dm
Friends and loved ones falling down
Am               G
 Can`t you hear that mournful sound?

G           Dm
Nothing left but memories
Am               G
 Things I still can`t stand to see
G            Dm
There`s an empty spot in me
Am             G
 Where my hometown used to be


CHORUS:
 G    Dm       C
This old boat is taking water
       C         G
It won`t be long `til it goes down
    Dm       F
Had enough to push us over
C             Dm
 Time to turn the wheel around

G  Dm  Am  G
G  Dm  Am  G


VERSE:
G            Dm
Neighborhoods left to decay
Am            G
 People died or walked away
G                 Dm
There`s nowhere left for them to stay
Am              G
 And we just look the other way


CHORUS:
 G    Dm       C
This old boat is taking water
       C         G
It won`t be long `til it goes down
    Dm       F
Had enough to push us over
C             Dm
 Time to turn the wheel around

VERSE:
G                Dm
Waves keep pounding through the night
Am            G
 Lost without a ray of light
G           Dm
Going down without a fight
Am                G
Is there still time to make it right?


CHORUS:
 G    Dm       C
This old boat is taking water
       C         G
It won`t be long `til it goes down
    Dm       F
Had enough to push us over
C             Dm
 Time to turn the wheel around


OUTRO:
     Dm       C
This old boat is taking water
     C         G
Won`t be long `til it goes down
    Dm       F
Had enough to push us over
C             Dm  Dm Dm Dm
 Time to turn the wheel around
