Intro F Dm F A# (2x)
[Verse 1]
C F A# F
We sat in his living room, staring at the fire
A# F C
And watched as the sparks leapt from the grate, and the flames rose higher
Dm A# Dm Am
It was hard for me to tell him, it was time for me to leave
A# Am C A#
He said, "I didn't go see the world, I thought that it would come to me"
[Verse 2]
C F A# F
Pointing to the mantelpiece, he said, "Take that if you wish"
A# F C
D dirty whisky jar that contained a wooden ship
Dm A# Dm Am
"Your grandfather drained that bottle, and I put it to good use
A# Am C A#
Now it ties me to my yesterdays, I'd be better off to lose"
[Chorus]
Gm7 F A# F A# F
No use fighting when the wind's against the tide
Gm7 A# C A7 Dm
Ship your oars, stow your sails, just enjoy the ride of your life
F Am Dm
Or throw yourself on the mercy of the sea
A# C F
Whatever you do, son, don't waste your time like me
[Interlude]
F Dm F A#
[Verse 3]
C F A# F
He built it back in '33, just a young boy at the time
A# F C
Back when the matchstick masts appeared to tower above the Clyde
Dm A# Dm Am
Leaving school, real ships he built, carried men and goods afar
A# Am C A#
To America and India, and in the '40s, to the war
[Verse 4]
C F A# F
His country didn't want him, his mates fell through war-torn skies
A# F C
The rest, they joined the convoys, still, he was too young to die
Dm A# Dm Am
Now he can't even find his glasses, his hands shake too much, he knows
A# Am C A#
To break the bottle for himself and to let the memories go
[Chorus]
Gm7 F A# F A# F
No use fighting when the wind's against the tide
Gm7 A# C A7 Dm
Ship your oars, stow your sails, just enjoy the ride of your life
F Am Dm
Or throw yourself on the mercy of the sea
A# C F
Whatever you do, son, don't waste your time like me
[Instrumental]]
F Dm F A#
F A# F A# F C F A# (2x)
[Verse 5]
C F A# F
Sitting on the mantelpiece, the bottle's gathered dust
A# F C
While shipyards closed, their gates were locked, the chains begin to rust
Dm A# Dm Am
He was tied down to his memories, forever in their debt
A# Am C A#
But I'll sail for clear blue waters and a life with no regrets
[Chorus]
Gm7 F A# F A# F
No use fighting when the wind's against the tide
Gm7 A# C A7 Dm
Ship your oars, stow your sails, just enjoy the ride of your life
F Am Dm
Or throw yourself on the mercy of the sea
A# C F
Whatever you do, son, don't waste your time like me
