                          When the  waters  is  rough,

                              The   sailing is  tough 

                          I`ll get  drowned in your love


| C                              | F
    You've got a cut-throat crew,    I'm gonna sink under you

| Bb                            
    I got the bell bottom blues,

    | C           | D
It's  gonna be the  death of me

                          It's the graveyard watch

                          Running right on the rocks

                          I've taken all of the knocks
 
| C                                | F 
    You ain't giving me no quarter,    I'd rather drink sea-water

| Bb                               
    I wish I'd never had brought yer,

    | C           | D
It's  gonna be the  death of me
