Intro A# Gm A# D# (2x)
[Verse 1]
F A# D# A#
We sat in his living room, staring at the fire
D# A# F
And watched as the sparks leapt from the grate, and the flames rose higher
Gm D# Gm Dm
It was hard for me to tell him, it was time for me to leave
D# Dm F D#
He said, "I didn't go see the world, I thought that it would come to me"
[Verse 2]
F A# D# A#
Pointing to the mantelpiece, he said, "Take that if you wish"
D# A# F
G dirty whisky jar that contained a wooden ship
Gm D# Gm Dm
"Your grandfather drained that bottle, and I put it to good use
D# Dm F D#
Now it ties me to my yesterdays, I'd be better off to lose"
[Chorus]
Cm7 A# D# A# D# A#
No use fighting when the wind's against the tide
Cm7 D# F D7 Gm
Ship your oars, stow your sails, just enjoy the ride of your life
A# Dm Gm
Or throw yourself on the mercy of the sea
D# F A#
Whatever you do, son, don't waste your time like me
[Interlude]
A# Gm A# D#
[Verse 3]
F A# D# A#
He built it back in '33, just a young boy at the time
D# A# F
Back when the matchstick masts appeared to tower above the Clyde
Gm D# Gm Dm
Leaving school, real ships he built, carried men and goods afar
D# Dm F D#
To America and India, and in the '40s, to the war
[Verse 4]
F A# D# A#
His country didn't want him, his mates fell through war-torn skies
D# A# F
The rest, they joined the convoys, still, he was too young to die
Gm D# Gm Dm
Now he can't even find his glasses, his hands shake too much, he knows
D# Dm F D#
To break the bottle for himself and to let the memories go
[Chorus]
Cm7 A# D# A# D# A#
No use fighting when the wind's against the tide
Cm7 D# F D7 Gm
Ship your oars, stow your sails, just enjoy the ride of your life
A# Dm Gm
Or throw yourself on the mercy of the sea
D# F A#
Whatever you do, son, don't waste your time like me
[Instrumental]]
A# Gm A# D#
A# D# A# D# A# F A# D# (2x)
[Verse 5]
F A# D# A#
Sitting on the mantelpiece, the bottle's gathered dust
D# A# F
While shipyards closed, their gates were locked, the chains begin to rust
Gm D# Gm Dm
He was tied down to his memories, forever in their debt
D# Dm F D#
But I'll sail for clear blue waters and a life with no regrets
[Chorus]
Cm7 A# D# A# D# A#
No use fighting when the wind's against the tide
Cm7 D# F D7 Gm
Ship your oars, stow your sails, just enjoy the ride of your life
A# Dm Gm
Or throw yourself on the mercy of the sea
D# F A#
Whatever you do, son, don't waste your time like me
