We were drinking down to Ready's place when first we heard the blow
A            A/Ab      F#m     F#m/E     D            Bm
It seemed to come from Ripper Rock so boldly forth we go
D                 A                               F#m - E

A                                      F#m
As her stern was high up in the air we made out "Athens Queen"
D               E     A
Oh the lovely Athens Queen


and so forth...
