Nautical Disaster                             The Tragically Hip 

Em-D-G-D-Em-D-C-D 

           Em             D            G 
I had this dream where I relished the fray  
        D                Em          D        C       D 
and the screaming filled my head all day.   
          Em              D                  G 
It was as though I'd been spit here, settled in,  
         D           Em            D          C 
into the pocket of a lighthouse on some rocky socket,  
        D                      Em       D 
off the coast of France, dear. 
         G                   D               Em    D 
One afternoon, four thousand men died in the water here  
    C            D                   Em       D         G 
and five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might  
   D            Em       D       C       D 
in your blood.   

               Em              D                 G 
Now I was in a lifeboat designed for ten and ten only,  
   D                Em                 D 
anything that systematic would get you hated.  
     C                D          Em                D      G     D 
It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated-(uh).   
              Em                      D          G 
The selection was quick, the crew was picked (in order)  
    D                 Em        D              C         D 
and those left in the water got kicked off our pantleg  
       Em                   G       C      D 
and we headed for home. 

Em     G      C     D 

         Em                  D                      G 
Then the dream ends when the phone rings, you doing alright  
             D              Em 
he said it's out there most days and nights,  
    D      C              D 
but only a fool would complain.   
   Em  D             G               D 
Anyway Susan, if you like, our conversation  
      Em         D           C       D 
is as faint as a sound in my memory,  
         Em         D              G          D    Em    D   C   D 
as those fingernails scratching on my hull. 


Em    G    C    D  (repeat)
