[Verse 1]
               Dm     Em7/D         Dm7         Em7/D
We're setting sail       ...to the place on the map,
           Dm         Em7/D         Dm7         Em7/D
From which no one has ever returned------,
 Dm           Em7/D          Dm7           Em7/D
Drawn by the promise of the joker, and the fool,
            Dm           Em7/D       Dm7    Em7/D
And by the light of the crosses that burn!


[Verse 2]
  Dm         Em7/D           Dm7          Em7/D
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace,
         Dm            Em7/D       Dm7    Em7/D
And the gold, and the cotton, and pearls,
          Dm              Em7/D         Dm7         Em7/D
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need,
             Dm           Em7/D                  Dm7       Em7/D
You sail a - way from the light of the world on this trip, baby!


[Bridge]
Dm7   Em7/D Dm7                         Dm7   Em7/D Dm7
                 You will pay tomorrow,
                           Dm7   Em7/D Dm7
You're gonna pay tomorrow,
                           Dm7   Em7/D Dm7
You will pay tomorrow----------------------, oh, oh - oh!


[Chorus 1]
Gm     Bb      F                       C
Hoh!  Save me,  ...save me from to - morrow,
Gm                   Bb                      C
    I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no -no,
Gm      Bb      F                      C
Oh, ...save me,    save me from to - morrow,
Gm                   Bb                     C
    I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, ...no, no,
                  Dm     Em7/D  Dm7        Em7/D
I want to run and hide            ...right now!

   Dm        Em7/D      Dm7       Em7/D
|  /   /   /__/   /   |  /   /   /__/   /  |

F       Em                Dm       Em7/D  Dm
    No, no - no - no, no, no----!


[Verse 3]
              Dm     Em7/D
Avarice and greed...
              Dm7       Em7/D     Dm          Em7/D  Dm7
....are gonna drive you over the endless sea,
          Em7/D       Dm              Em7/D
They will leave you drifting in the shallows,
     Dm7           Em7/D      Dm      Em7/D   Dm7  Em7/D
Or drowning in the oceans of history!


[Verse 4]
  Dm           Em7/D             Dm7         Em7/D
Travelling the world, you're in search of no good,
         Dm                    Em7/D           Dm7      Em7/D
But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom, like you knew you would,
      Dm            Em7/D           Dm7    Em7/D
Using all the good people for your galley slaves,
          Dm           Em7/D              Dm7         Em7/D
As your little boat struggles through the  ...warning waves!


[Bridge]
                 Dm7   Em7/D Dm7                       Dm7  Em7/D Dm7
But you don't ...pay,            you will pay tomorrow,
                           Dm7   Em7/D Dm7
You're gonna pay tomorrow,             yes,
                           Dm7   Em7/D Dm7
You're gonna pay tomorrow-------------------, oh, oh - oh!


[Chorus 2]
Gm    Bb        F                      C
Hoh!  Save me,     save me from to - morrow,
Gm                   Bb                      C
    I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no -no -no,
Gm      Bb      F                      C
Oh, ...save me,    save me from to - morrow,
Gm                   Bb                     C
    I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, ...no, no, no -no,
Gm     Bb                    F                 C
    Where's it coming from?     Oh, where's it ...going to?
            Gm  Bb                       C
It's just a     ...it's just a ship of fools! Woh - oh -oh, ah-------!
