(Chorus) [tracet] dm am 'Cause this ship's going down E All on account of the weather am Though we'll drown dm There's no need to frown E am 'Cause we're all going together dm am And I won't say "Woe is me" E As I disappear into the sea am dm 'Cause I'm in good company E am As we're all going together (Verse 2) am E I've had women of every kind, but the only one truly was mine am dm E akm Is the one at home who'll be alone when I am full-up with brine. am E For my son I had always a plan, for to raise him as best as I can. am dm E am Oh well you can bet, my only regret is to not see him grow to a man.
