C5 G5 (repeat) 
I was lost until you found me 
           A5 F5          G5 
You're the reason for my today 
            F5  G5                C5 
Was tempest tossed, now I sleep soundly 
         G5  F5          C5 
Thanks to you I gladly say 
 
Chorus: 
             G5                 C5 
That if your goldmine comes up empty 
        G5                 C5 
I'll be there to work the claim 
            E5           F5 
If you're a captain of a shipwreck 
        C5         G5          C5  G5 (repeat) 
I'll be firstmate    to your shame 
 
 
C5 G5 (repeat) 
Trust in me to share your burden 
         A5 F5          G5 
Stand by you   where I belong 
          F5 G5            C5 
When life brings the day uncertain 
       G5            F5         C5 
I will soothe you     with my song 
 
Chorus: 

And if your goldmine comes up empty 

I'll be there to work the claim 

If you're a captain of a shipwreck 

I'll be first mate to your shame 
 

C5 G5 (repeat) 
Fear no flood in stormy weather 
        A5 F5             G5 
Fear no fire   if winds arise 
          F5 G5                C5 
Flesh and blood, I'm yours forever 
       G5     F5           C5 
And forever,    it never dies 
 
Chorus: 

And if your goldmine comes up empty 

I'll be there to work the claim 

If you're a captain of a shipwreck 

I'll be first mate to your shame 
 

            E5           F5 
If you're a captain of a shipwreck 
        E5                F5 
You can find me up on the top deck 
          E5           F5 
You'll be captain of a shipwreck 
        C5         G5          C5  G5 (repeat) 
I'll be firstmate    to your shame.
