Ship Of Fools Grateful Dead
[C]laid my pr[EM7]oposit[F]ion dow[Em]n, lai[Dm]d it on the line[G] --
[G]I won't slave for beggar[F]'s pay, lik[C]ewise [Em]gold and jewels, [Dm]
(optional)
[F]but I would slave[D] to learn[C] the way to sink your shi[G]p of foo[F]ls. [C]
[C]Ship of fo[G]ols [F]on a cruel sea, [C]
[C]ship of f[G]ool[F]s sail away from me. [Am]
Am ?
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
F G F C Take your pick;
G F C the boys
have played it at least these two ways
now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
Saw your first ship sink and drown, from rockin' of the boat,
and all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float.
I won't leave you drifting down, but oh it makes me wild,
thirty years upon my head to have you call me child.
Ship of fools on a cruel sea,
ship of fools sail away from me.
It was later than I thought when I first believed you,
now I cannot share your laughter, ship of fools.
The bottle stands as empty, as it was filled before.
Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more
Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools.
Ship of fools on a cruel sea,
ship of fools sail away from me.
