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