Intro C# A#m C# F# (2x)
[Verse 1]
G# C# F# C#
We sat in his living room, staring at the fire
F# C# G#
And watched as the sparks leapt from the grate, and the flames rose higher
A#m F# A#m Fm
It was hard for me to tell him, it was time for me to leave
F# Fm G# F#
He said, "I didn't go see the world, I thought that it would come to me"
[Verse 2]
G# C# F# C#
Pointing to the mantelpiece, he said, "Take that if you wish"
F# C# G#
A# dirty whisky jar that contained a wooden ship
A#m F# A#m Fm
"Your grandfather drained that bottle, and I put it to good use
F# Fm G# F#
Now it ties me to my yesterdays, I'd be better off to lose"
[Chorus]
D#m7 C# F# C# F# C#
No use fighting when the wind's against the tide
D#m7 F# G# F7 A#m
Ship your oars, stow your sails, just enjoy the ride of your life
C# Fm A#m
Or throw yourself on the mercy of the sea
F# G# C#
Whatever you do, son, don't waste your time like me
[Interlude]
C# A#m C# F#
[Verse 3]
G# C# F# C#
He built it back in '33, just a young boy at the time
F# C# G#
Back when the matchstick masts appeared to tower above the Clyde
A#m F# A#m Fm
Leaving school, real ships he built, carried men and goods afar
F# Fm G# F#
To America and India, and in the '40s, to the war
[Verse 4]
G# C# F# C#
His country didn't want him, his mates fell through war-torn skies
F# C# G#
The rest, they joined the convoys, still, he was too young to die
A#m F# A#m Fm
Now he can't even find his glasses, his hands shake too much, he knows
F# Fm G# F#
To break the bottle for himself and to let the memories go
[Chorus]
D#m7 C# F# C# F# C#
No use fighting when the wind's against the tide
D#m7 F# G# F7 A#m
Ship your oars, stow your sails, just enjoy the ride of your life
C# Fm A#m
Or throw yourself on the mercy of the sea
F# G# C#
Whatever you do, son, don't waste your time like me
[Instrumental]]

C# F# C# F# C# G# C# F# (2x)
[Verse 5]
G# C# F# C#
Sitting on the mantelpiece, the bottle's gathered dust
F# C# G#
While shipyards closed, their gates were locked, the chains begin to rust
A#m F# A#m Fm
He was tied down to his memories, forever in their debt
F# Fm G# F#
But I'll sail for clear blue waters and a life with no regrets
[Chorus]
D#m7 C# F# C# F# C#
No use fighting when the wind's against the tide
D#m7 F# G# F7 A#m
Ship your oars, stow your sails, just enjoy the ride of your life
C# Fm A#m
Or throw yourself on the mercy of the sea
F# G# C#
Whatever you do, son, don't waste your time like me
