Nautical Disaster The Tragically Hip
Am-F-F-F-Am-F-F-F
Am F F
I had this dream where I relished the fray
F Am F F F
and the screaming filled my head all day.
Am F F
It was as though I'd been spit here, settled in,
F Am F F
into the pocket of a lighthouse on some rocky socket,
F Am F
off the coast of France, dear.
F F Am F
One afternoon, four thousand men died in the water here
F F Am F F
and five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might
F Am F F F
in your blood.
Am F F
Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only,
F Am F
anything that systematic would get you hated.
F F Am F F F
It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated-(uh).
Am F F
The selection was quick, the crew was picked (in order)
F Am F F F
and those left in the water got kicked off our pantleg
Am F F F
and we headed for home.
Am F F F
Am F F
Then the dream ends when the phone rings, you doing alright
F Am
he said it's out there most days and nights,
F F F
but only a fool would complain.
Am F F F
Anyway Susan, if you like, our conversation
Am F F F
is as faint as a sound in my memory,
Am F F F Am F F F
as those fingernails scratching on my hull.
Am F F F (repeat)
