[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]
[G][Gm][D][G][Gm][D]

[Verse 1]
Repair [D]the hull,
[G]replace the sai[Gm]ls.[D]
The monkey wrestles with
[G]the ghost[Gm]
And [D]a thou[E]sand pleasures
form a thin [G]veneer
Over [A]lack of hope.
[Bm]The captain was rightly [E]murdered
by the [A]crew[B]
[Bm]But now they don't[E] know
what to [A]do [G]-
[D]Drifting on the [B]murky Sar[E]gasso [A]of the eve[D]ryday.
[F#dim][D][G][Bb][D][A][D]
[G][Bb][Gm][C][D][G][Gm][C]
[D]Work and slave and [G]skimp
and [Bb]save[Gm][C][D]
And you can buy yourself
a bigger [G]cave[Bb][Gm]
And a [E]thousand little cruelties
[G]we agree to pretend [A]to ignore.
The [Bm]ghost has got the [E]mon
key by the [A]tail
[Bb]And [A]all [Bm]they[E]
both can do is [A]wail.[G]
And [D]you and I go [B]drifting by [Bm]the a[E]bandoned v[A]essels of he everyday.
