[Verse 1]
Em G
This old city looks dead in the morning light
Em G G/F#
I wonder where my saviour was last night
[Chorus]

When my ship comes in to call

I will throw this knife in the river
Em
I will give my best to love
G G/F# A
On the day my ship comes in to call
G G/F#
On the day my ship comes in to call

[Verse 2]
Em G
I know my ways are cruel and unrefined

For ten long years I preyed on the rabble I know
A Em
But I gave myself to the well-known devil I don’t
[Chorus]

I will throw this knife in the river

I will give my best to love

I gave myself to a play that wasn’t mine (When my ship comes, when my ship comes)

I will throw this knife in the river

I will give my best to love
