for your king and country

[Verse 2]
G#m
The ship is swaying
E F#
great white sails are torn
G#m
"Work harder faithful crew,
B E F#
or you'll do nothing more."

The firm hand of doom
E F#
makes the ship heal.

Rocking out of control
B E F#
bending up its keel
[Pre-Chorus]
E F# B F#
The imposing galley twists and turns
E F# D#
struggling in the wild waves
[Chorus]

The ship is doomed forevermore
E F#
Ooooh ooooh

Royal galley sailing no more
C#m B F#
Ooooh ooooh
G#m F#
The ship is doomed forevermore
E F#
Ooooh ooooh
[Chorus]

Royal galley's lost at sea
C#m B F#
Ooooh ooooh
G#m F#
Down in the deep resting in peace

Ooooh ooooh

Down in the deep resting in peace
