"The Ghost Ship" by Robyn Hitchcock (lyrics & chords)
A The Ghost Ship haunts the sea F#m to still come back and marry me DA the rust is where her heart should be tonight DA her face is where her fingers were tonight
A a glassy checkered engine room F#m the speechless silence of the tomb DA the manuscripts inside the womb unfurls_ E A girl _
D translucent as a jelly fish A that palpitates upon a dish DA7E she stings you with her gently falling curl_
DA and sinking in the waters green tonight_ DA 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_
DE 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_ DE 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 ! -- D.R.G.
