  Nautical Disaster                             The Tragically Hip

  

  Em-D-G-D-Em-D-C-D

  

             Em             D            G

  I had this dream where I relished the fray 

          D                Em          D        C       D

  and the screaming filled my head all day.  

            Em              D                  G

  It was as though I'd been spit here, settled in, 

           D           Em            D          C

  into the pocket of a lighthouse on some rocky socket, 

          D                      Em       D

  off the coast of France, dear.

           G                   D               Em    D

  One afternoon, four thousand men died in the water here 

      C            D                   Em       D         G

  and five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might 

     D            Em       D       C       D

  in your blood.  

  

                 Em              D                 G

  Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only, 

     D                Em                 D

  anything that systematic would get you hated. 

       C                D          Em                D      G     D

  It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated-(uh).  

                Em                      D          G

  The selection was quick, the crew was picked (in order) 

      D                 Em        D              C         D

  and those left in the water got kicked off our pantleg 

         Em                   G       C      D

  and we headed for home.

  

  Em     G      C     D

  

           Em                  D                      G

  Then the dream ends when the phone rings, you doing alright 

               D              Em

  he said it's out there most days and nights, 

      D      C              D

  but only a fool would complain.  

     Em  D             G               D

  Anyway Susan, if you like, our conversation 

        Em         D           C       D

  is as faint as a sound in my memory, 

           Em         D              G          D    Em    D   C   D

  as those fingernails scratching on my hull.

  

  

  Em    G    C    D  (repeat)
