[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Billy was [Am]born within
[Dsus4]sight of the shipyard
[D]First [Am]son of a riv[D]eter's son[C][Dsus4]
[C]And Bil[Am]ly was raised as the
[D]ship grew a [Dsus4]shadow
[C]Her [Am]great hull would blot out the
[D]light of the [Am]sun
[Dsus4]

[Verse 2]
And [Am]six days a week he would
[Dsus4]watch his poor fat[D]her
A [Am]working man live like a [D]slave[Dsus4]
[Am]He'd drink every night and
he'd [Dsus4]dream of a future
[D]Of [Am]money he never would [D]save
[C]And [Dsus4]Billy wou[C]ld [Gm]cry when
he [Eb]thought of the future

[Verse 3]
[Am]Soon came a day when the
[Dsus4]bottle wa[D]s b[C]roke[D]n
They [Am]launched a great ship out to [Dsus4]sea
[C]He [Am]felt he'd been left on
a [Dsus4]des olate[C] shore
[D]To a [Am]future he desperately
[D]wanted [C]to [D]flee[C]
[Gm]What else was there for [Eb]a riveter's son
A new [F]ship to be built,
new work to be done

[Verse 4]
One [C]day [Am]he d[C]ream[F]ed
of the ship in the [D]world
It would [Am]carry his father [C]and he
To a [F]place they would never be [Dm]found[C]
[Am]To a[C] place f[F]ar away from[Gsus4] this town.[Am][C][Am]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Trapped in the c[C]age of the s[Am]keleton ship
All the workmen [G]sus
[C]pended [Am]like [C]flies
[Am]Caught in the [C]flare of [Am]acetylene [C]light
[Am]A working man wo[C]rks
[Am]till the industry [C]dies
And [Gm]Billy would cry when he
[Eb]thought of the future
[Am]Then what

[Verse 6]
they [C]call an
[Am]industrial [C]accident
[Am]Crushed those [G]it [C]couldn't
[Am]forgive[G][Dsus4]
[C]They [Am]brought Billy's [C]father
[Am]back home in an [C]ambulance
[Am]A brass watch, a che[G]qu[C]e,
may[Am]be three weeks to[G] l[C]ive,
And [Gm]what else was there
[Eb]for a riveter's son
A new [F]ship to be built,
new work to be done
That [C]night,

[Verse 7]
he [F]dreamed of
the ship in the world
[Dm]It w[D]ould carry[Am] his father and [C]he
To [F]a place they could never be [Dm]found
[D]To a [Am]place far away from this [C]town,
[Am]A Newc[F]astle ship without coals[Dm]
[Dsus4][D][C]
[F]They would sail to the [Gsus4]island of[Am] souls.
