Verse
Dm F
Jayme Dawson was the Captain of the Christian and her crew,
C Dm C
And he flew and fought the Christian in the War of '82.
Dm F
Now the Christian was the tightest ship 'tween here and Charlemagne,
C Dm
And the crew of Jayme Dawson was the same.
[Verse 2]
Dm F
On patrol in sector seven, keeping watch on Barber's sun,
C Dm C
They were jumped by three light cruisers though they wern't a match for one.
Dm F
As they came to general quarters and they sent out the alarm,
C Dm
Dawson's crew was sure they'd finally bought the farm.
[Verse 3]
Dm F
No one living saw that battle though the fleet was quick to leave.
C Dm C
When they reached the site they found a scene no sane man could believe.
Dm F
Dead in space lay three light cruisers, cut to ribbons all around,
C Dm
But no sign of Dawson's Christian could be found.
[Chorus 1]
F Dm F Dm
There are stories of the Dutchman, the Celeste and Barnham's Pride,
C Dm C
There are stories of the Horseman and the Lady at his side,
F Dm F Dm
But the tale that chills my spirit, more because I know it's true,
C Dm
Is the tale of Jayme Dawson and his crew,
C Dm
Yes, the tale of Dawson's Christian and her crew.
[Verse 4]
Dm F
I was second mate on Hera's Dream, a freighter of the line.
C Dm C
We were shipping precious metals to the colony on Nine.
Dm F
It was on the second watch of that most uneventful flight,
C Dm
When the pirate ships appeared out of the night.
[Verse 5]
Dm F
Now to me there was no question, for they had us four to one,
C Dm C
And you can't fight dirty pirates when your freighter has no gun.
Dm F
So we stood by to be boarded by a party yet unseen,
C Dm
When another ship appeared upon our screen.
[Verse 6]
Dm F
First we thought it just a pirate, but the vector was all wrong.
C Dm C
Then we thought it might be rescue, but the signal wasn't strong.
Dm F
When she didn't answer hailing, we all felt an unknown dread,
C Dm
For we saw her shields were up and glowing red.
[Verse 7]
Dm F
Now the courage of that single ship is shown by very few,
C Dm C
But we never knew a ship could fly the way the stranger flew.
Dm F
Never fearing guns or numbers, like a tiger to its meat,
C Dm
The stranger then attacked the pirate fleet.
[Chorus 2]
F Dm F Dm
And the strangers beams burned brighter than all beams I'd seen before.
C Dm C
And the strangers shields were harder than the heart of any whore.
F Dm F Dm
As the battle rent the ether, while we watched and shook our heads,
C Dm
The pirate ships were cut to bloody shreds.
C Dm
The pirate ships were cut to bloody shreds.
[Verse 8]
Dm F
Just as quickly as it started then the fighting was all done.
C Dm C
For the pirate fleet was shattered and the stranger's ship had won.
Dm F
Though we tried to call and thank her, not an answer could we draw,
C Dm
Then she dropped her shields and this is what we saw.
[Verse 9]
Dm F
There were thirty holes clear through her and a gash along one side,
C Dm C
And we knew that when it happened, that no crew were left alive.
Dm F
For the markings all said Christian, deep inside us each one knew,
C Dm
'Twas the tomb of Jayme Dawson and his crew.
[Verse 10]
Dm F
Now instead of flying off, the stranger then began to fade,
C Dm C
First the hull, and then the bulkheads as we cowered there afraid,
Dm F
For as the Christian disappeared, the last to slip from view,
C Dm
Were the bones of Jayme Dawson and his crew.
C Dm
Yes, the bones of Jayme Dawson and his crew.
[Chorus 1]
F Dm F Dm
There are stories of the Dutchman, the Celeste and Barnham's Pride,
C Dm C
There are stories of the Horseman and the Lady at his side,
F Dm F Dm
But the tale that chills my spirit, and I swear to God it's true,
C Dm
Is the tale of Jayme Dawson and his crew,
C Dm
Yes, the tale of Dawson's Christian and her crew.
