[Verse 1] N.C. My arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck Em D Em And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck B A G F# We've flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides Em D Em Though the wind's steady, strong with no clouds in the skies [Verse 2] Em D Em The ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire Em D Em And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre B A G F# Crew's got smiles on their faces, but we've seen this before Em D Em No telling just now what we have in store [Verse 3] Em D Em The back-stabbing, loot-nabbing plans behind doors Em D Em Running low on the rum and depleting our stores B A G F# Can't tell who's on our side and who's ready to flip Em D Em When we hit the next port the whole crew could jump ship [Verse 4] Em D Em With the moods flaring, crew's glaring, cut-throats the lot Em D Em With a paranoid captain always smelling a plot B A G F# We've worked hard on this journey, but there's no land in sight Em D Em And before it's all ended there could be a fight [Verse 5] Em D Em My arms aching, back's breaking, legs aching, neck Em D Em And this whole ruddy ship is a huge creaking wreck B A G F# We've flown ten thousand miles with this thorn in our sides Em D Em Though the wind's steady, strong with no clouds in the skies [Verse 6] Em D Em The ropes creaking, ship's leaking, sails are on fire Em D Em And this whole bloody ship could go up like a pyre B A G F# Crew's got smiles on their faces, but we've seen this before Em D Em No telling just now what we have in store
