Biography:
Robyn Raymond Hitchcock (born 3rd March 1953) is an English singer-songwriter and psych folk guitarist. While primarily a vocalist and guitarist, he also plays harmonica, piano, and bass guitar. Many of Hitchcock's album covers bear his paintings or drawings, and his albums' liner notes sometimes include a printed short story. His live concerts usually include a considerable amount of story-telling, imaginative and surreal ad-libbed monologues in his lyrical style.

"The Ghost Ship" by Robyn Hitchcock (lyrics & chords)
A
The Ghost Ship haunts the sea
F#m
to still come back and marry me
D A
the rust is where her heart should be tonight
D A
her face is where her fingers were tonight
A
a glassy checkered engine room
F#m
the speechless silence of the tomb
D A
the manuscripts inside the womb unfurls_
E
A girl _
D
translucent as a jelly fish
A
that palpitates upon a dish
D A7 E
she stings you with her gently falling curl_
D A
and sinking in the waters green tonight_
D A
I wonder where my love has been tonight_
---repeat chords
The ghost ship changes course
and on the deck there stands a horse
who's munching on sardines and gorse and hay_
the captain draws a net across the bay_
The bubbles rising from the deep
where dead men sing themselves to sleep
from oak and coral they decieve to say_
okay_
you read my future like a chart
see through my skin into my heart
that flutters in my ribcage like a bird_
D E
and the ghost ship sails on in to some ones life_
---repeat chords
The air from bottles forms into
the skeletons of all the crew
in white they dance against the blue and wail_
their curling bodys flail around the sail_
The figure head before the mast
stares back into the golden past
across the wrinkled sea so vast, forlorn_
she moans_
and flutters 'round me like a moth
that beats against mosquito cloth
and trys to eat her way into my dreams_
and sinking in the waters green tonight_
I wonder where my love has been tonight_
---repeat chords
The melons on the riverbank
are bulging through decaying plank
the beauty is so warm and dank and light_
the captain wears a headless grin tonight_
and sillhoutted on a blue
the cook,the mate,the boseman too
they know not why or what they do at all_
they fall_
like masonry in the abyss
that opens every time we kiss
I hear their laughter echoe 'round the bay_
D E
and the ghost ship sails on into someones life_
---continue with A7,E and variations that trail off 'til the end.
Leave it to R.H. to write such a dreamy song.
If anyone knows anymore Robyn, Please post them !
