Ship of Fools Grateful Dead
[Cm] [F] [Eb] [Bb]
[Bb]Went to see the[F] cap[Eb]tain[Gdim], strangest I could [Bb]find
L[Bb]aid my p[D]ropositi[Eb]on down[Dm], [Cm] Laid it on the l[F]ine
I won't slave for b[Eb]eggars?[Bb] pay,[Dm] likewise gold and [Cm]jewels
[Eb] But I would slave to l[Bb]earn the way to s[F]ink you[Eb]r ship of f[Bb]ools
Ship of [F]fools on a [Eb]cruel s[Bb]ea
Ship of [F]fools[Eb] sail away from[Gm] me
It was [Gm]later than I thought
[Gdim] When I first believed you
Now I [Cm]cannot share your [F]laughter
[Eb] Ship of [Bb]fools
[Bb]Saw your first ship si[F]nk and dr[Eb]own [Gdim] from rocking of the b[Bb]oat
[Bb]And all that c[D]ould not s[Eb]ink or swim [Dm] [Cm] was just left there to f[F]loat
I won't leave you [Eb]drifting d[Bb]own, [Dm] but whoa it makes me [Cm]wild
[Eb]With thirty years u[Bb]pon my head to [F]have you[Eb] call me ch[Bb]ild
Ship of [F]fools on a [Eb]cruel s[Bb]ea
Ship of [F]fools[Eb] sail away from [Gm]me
It was [Gm]later than I thought
[Gdim] When I first believed you
Now I [Cm]cannot share your [F]laughter
[Eb] Ship of [Bb]fools
[Bb]The bottle stands as e[F]mpty[Eb], [Gdim] as they were filled b[Bb]efore
[Bb]Time there [D]was, and p[Eb]lenty,[Dm] [Cm] but from that cup, no mo[F]re
Though I could not [Eb]caution a[Bb]ll, [Dm]I still might warn a f[Cm]ew
[Eb]Don't lend your hand to [Bb]raise no flag [F]atop no [Eb]ship of foo[Bb]ls
Ship of [F]fools on a [Eb]cruel s[Bb]ea
Ship of [F]fools[Eb] sail away from [Gm]me
It was [Gm]later than I thought
[Gdim] When I first believed you
Now I [Cm]cannot share your [F]laughter
[Eb] Ship of [Bb]fools
It was [Gm]later than I thought
[Gdim] When I first believed you
Now I cann[Cm]ot share your [F]laughter
[Eb] Ship of [Bb]fools
