      Am
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 | Am | Am | Am |
| Am | Am | Am | Am |

   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

 Am
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 | Am | Am | Am |


      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
