Verse 1
The heroine (D minor) stood (E minor) up on the deck
(G major) The ship was out of control (D major)
The bow was (E minor) being ripped (G major) to shreds
Men were fighting down below
The sea had pummeled
the boat (E minor) for so long
That they (G major) knew nothing but fear
(B flat major)
Verse 2
And the (C minor) baby's (C major) in the box,
(A minor) he thinks the door is locked
The (C major) sea is in a state, the (A minor) baby learns to wait
(G major) For the (C major) heroine,
(F major) (G major) ooohh for the (C major) heroine
(F major) Locked in his defense, (G major)
he waits (C major) for the heroine

While the (D major) heroine dressed in

They were (G major) in for a long (B flat major) trip

herself be seized by the

who (G major) transcends all the men
Who are (C major) locked inside the box
Will the (A minor) lady let them out
Ooohh the (F major) (B flat major) (C major) (F major) heroine,

the pale (G major) ascendant (C major) heroine
