[Verse 1]
N.C.
My arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck
Em D Em
And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck
B A G F#
We've flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides
Em D Em
Though the wind's steady, strong with no clouds in the skies
[Verse 2]
Em D Em
The ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire
Em D Em
And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre
B A G F#
Crew's got smiles on their faces, but we've seen this before
Em D Em
No telling just now what we have in store
[Verse 3]
Em D Em
The back-stabbing, loot-nabbing plans behind doors
Em D Em
Running low on the rum and depleting our stores
B A G F#
Can't tell who's on our side and who's ready to flip
Em D Em
When we hit the next port the whole crew could jump ship
[Verse 4]
Em D Em
With the moods flaring, crew's glaring, cut-throats the lot
Em D Em
With a paranoid captain always smelling a plot
B A G F#
We've worked hard on this journey, but there's no land in sight
Em D Em
And before it's all ended there could be a fight
[Verse 5]
Em D Em
My arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck
Em D Em
And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck
B A G F#
We've flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides
Em D Em
Though the wind's steady, strong with no clouds in the skies
[Verse 6]
Em D Em
The ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire
Em D Em
And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre
B A G F#
