And (A minor) six days a week he would
(Dsus4) watch his poor (D major) father

a (Dsus4) des (C major) olate shore
(D major) To a (A minor) future he desperately

A new (F major) ship to be built,
new work to be done

Verse 5
(A minor) Trapped in (C major) the cage of (A minor) the skeleton ship
All the workmen (G major) sus
(C major) pended (A minor) like flies (C major)
(A minor) Caught in the (C major) flare of (A minor) acetylene (C major) light
(A minor) A working man (C major) works
(A minor) till the industry (C major) dies
And (G minor) Billy would cry when he
(E flat major) thought of the future
(A minor) Then what
Verse 6
they (C major) call an
(A minor) industrial (C major) accident
(A minor) Crushed those (G major) it (C major) couldn't
(A minor) forgive (G major) (Dsus4)
(C major) They (A minor) brought Billy's (C major) father
(A minor) back home in an (C major) ambulance
(A minor) A brass watch, (G major) a (C major) cheque,
may (A minor) be three weeks (G major) to (C major) live,
And (G minor) what else was there
for (E flat major) a riveter's son
A new (F major) ship to be built,
new work to be done
That (C major) night,
Verse 7
he (F major) dreamed of
the ship in the world
(D minor) It (D major) would (A minor) carry his father and (C major) he
To a place (F major) they could never be (D minor) found
(D major) To a (A minor) place far away from this town, (C major)
(A minor) A (F major) Newcastle ship without coals (D minor)
(Dsus4) (D major) (C major)
They would sail (F major) to the (Gsus4) island (A minor) of souls.
