They had a last supper
G Am Am
The day of the Beaching
Am C
She's a dead ship sailing
Em Em
Skeleton Crew
F
The galley is empty
C Am Am Am F
The stove pots are cooling
Am Asus4
With what's left of the stew

Am
The time is approaching
G Am Am
The captain moves over
Am C
The hangman steps in
Em Em
To do what he's paid for
F
With the wind down the tide
C Am Am
She goes proud ahead steaming
F Am Am
And he drives her hard into the shore

C Em F F
So far from the Clyde
Dm Dm
Together we ride
F F
We did ride

Am
As if to a wave
G Am Am
From her bows to her rudder
Am C Em Em
Bravely she rises to meet with the land
F C Am Am
Under their feet they all feel her keel shatter
F Am Am
The shallow see washes their hands

Later the captain
G Am Am
Shakes hands with the hangman
Am C
And climbs slowly down
Em Em
To the oily wet ground
F C Am Am
Goes 'bout to the car that has come here to take him
F Am Am
To the graveyard and back to the town

C Em F F
So far from the Clyde
Dm Dm
Together we ride
F F

Am
They pull out her cables
G Am Am
And hack off her hatches
Am C Em Em
Too poor to be wasteful with pity or time
F C Am Am
They swarm on her carcass with torches and axes
F Am Am
Like a whale on the bloody shoreline

Am
Stripped of her pillars
G Am
Her stays and her stantions
Am C Em Em
When there's only her bones on the wet poison land
F C Am Am
Steel ropes will drag her with winches and engines
F Am Am
'Til it's only a stain on the sand

C Em F F
So far from the Clyde
Dm Dm
Together we ride
F F/E Dsus2 Dsus2/A
We did ride

So far from the Clyde
