Chords with lyrics

See the lonely township,

BbmBbm
peacefully sleeping,

  E minorEm               BbmBbm
the sun hides once again behind the sea,

E minorEm
most are safely dreaming,

BbmBbm
angel kisses
*Yon makes kissing noises*

and butterflies
*Yon makes a weird roaring screetching noise*

  E minorEm               BbmBbm
But sinners can't escape so easily,

  A minorAm               E minorEm
The murderers, the thieves and the fruadulant,

  A minorAm                 G+G
The overweight, the working-class, the foreigners,

A minorAm            E minorEm
they all must beware, for whats that looming there?

    D MajorD       B7B7
an evil specter on the sea

E minorEm        C majorC   D MajorD
Ghost ship,

E minorEm          C majorC     D MajorD
Ghost ship, coming to get them,

E minorEm          C majorC     D MajorD
Ghost Ship, sinners beware,

E minorEm          C majorC     D MajorD
Ghost ship, ain't no escaping,

  BB
The ghost ship coming near.

*Yon does a high pitched toot-toot*
What was that?
It was the ghost ship
*does toot-toot noise again*
No man its got to be really scary.
*Yon does a deeper toot-toot*
No really disturbing.
Oh... milky discharge.

  G+G
Its masts are made of piled up skulls,

  D MajorD
its deck is made of human nuts,

  C majorC
its sails are made of sailor skins,

  D MajorD
its guts are made of... guts.


    E minorEm
It's a feat of engineering

 C majorC
I wonder who built it

I wonder who built it as well Yonnie


G+G              D MajorD
out in the night, under the ocean sky,

     G+G                             D MajorD
  C#C# C majorC
I was standing with my baby on the boardwalk and the ghost ship was there,

         G+G     A minorAm
I took her to the pictures,

          E minorEm    C majorC
and then I took her home,

            G...
and then I took her to heaven, you know what i mean...


Umm... I don't want to stop it or anything but I am going to go with some of the
chuckles from the

audience out there and suggest that a few of these punters have spotted the same
inconscitencies in

this song as I have. Um, when did this song become about some woman?

Well I kinda figured that the guys love all the evil ghost ship, scary demonic muah
boogyman kinda

stuff. But as soon as you start to talk about love, now you have the ladies listening.
Because the

ladies want to imagine that they are making love to the singer.

What?!?!?!

Nah I read it in Rolling Stone go with me, right... 1e and a 2e and 3, 4

Chorus
E minorEm      C majorC
Ghost Ship

    D MajorD       E minorEm     C majorC
My baby kisses like a ghost ship,

      D MajorD      E minorEm
I touch my baby on her ghost ship,

        C majorC      D MajorD
my trousers are bursting...


Alright, Alright, just a minute here. I touch my baby on her ghost ship??? Where exactly
is a woman's

ghost ship?

Don't you know?

I don't think he knows! Anyway, anyway I cant believe I am saying this but i think that
he is onto

something. but you may be coming in a little too fast, now if you want to do this love
thing you have

got to create a bit of a mood. You have to get inside the head of a female girl, tell
them what they

want to hear.

Can I give you an example?

Chorus
E minorEm            C majorC      D MajorD
Ghost ship, Expressing my feelings,

E minorEm            C majorC       D MajorD
Ghost Ship, Being a good listener,

E minorEm            C majorC      D MajorD
Ghost Ship, Thoughtful companion,


I dont even know what this song is about anymore.
It's like foreplay
Yeah
No!!!
Its not about foreplay, its about a horrible spectral ship that comes and gets sinners.
What are they wearing?
NO!!!
There is no focus, if there is a woman on it then its because she is a sinner. Do you
get it? Right?
Yeah


G+G
The woman's a sinner,

         D MajorD
she's going to be dragged away,

  G+G                            D MajorD
But not before I bone her on the boardwalk 'till the morning comes,

 C majorC          G+G
I wrote a sentimental card

   A minorAm          E minorEm
with flowers and a pink design,

     C majorC       G+G
She'll be torn apart by demons

            D MajorD
While she's touching my buns

Chorus
E minorEm         C majorC      D MajorD
Ghost ship, caring environment,

E minorEm           C majorC    D MajorD
Ghost ship, den of the damned,

E minorEm         C majorC      D MajorD
Ghost Ship, Overtly Sexual

BB
Murderous

Empathy

Lude

Banshees

Thoughtful

Arse
