Nautical Disaster by The Tragically Hip

Em-D-G-D-Em-D-C-D

      E minorEm       D MajorD      G+G
I had this dream where I relished the fray
    D MajorD        E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC    D MajorD
and the screaming filled my head all day.
     E minorEm       D MajorD         G+G
It was as though I'd been spit here, settled in,
     D MajorD      E minorEm      D MajorD     C majorC
into the pocket of a lighthouse on some rocky socket,
    D MajorD           E minorEm    D MajorD
off the coast of France, dear.
     G+G          D MajorD        E minorEm  D MajorD
One afternoon, four thousand men died in the water here
  C majorC      D MajorD          E minorEm    D MajorD     G+G
and five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might
  D MajorD      E minorEm    D MajorD    C majorC    D MajorD
in your blood.

        E minorEm       D MajorD         G+G
Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only,
  D MajorD        E minorEm         D MajorD
anything that systematic would get you hated.
   C majorC        D MajorD     E minorEm        D MajorD   G+G   D MajorD
It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated-(uh).
       E minorEm           D MajorD     G+G
The selection was quick, the crew was picked (in order)
  D MajorD         E minorEm    D MajorD       C majorC     D MajorD
and those left in the water got kicked off our pantleg
    E minorEm          G+G    C majorC   D MajorD
and we headed for home.

E minorEm   G+G   C majorC   D MajorD

     E minorEm         D MajorD           G+G
Then the dream ends when the phone rings, you doing alright
       D MajorD       E minorEm
he said it's out there most days and nights,
  D MajorD   C majorC       D MajorD
but only a fool would complain.
  E minorEm D MajorD       G+G        D MajorD
Anyway Susan, if you like, our conversation
   E minorEm     D MajorD      C majorC    D MajorD
is as faint as a sound in my memory,
     E minorEm     D MajorD       G+G     D MajorD  E minorEm  D MajorD  C majorC  D MajorD
as those fingernails scratching on my hull.


E minorEm  G+G  C majorC  D MajorD (repeat)


THE END!
