Intro 1
(E minor)
Verse 1
It's all there (E minor) in the gospels (B minor)
The (A minor) Magdalene girl (B minor) comes
to pay (A minor) her respects
But her (C major) mind is awhirl (D major) when she
(E minor) finds the tomb empty
(B minor) The (A minor) stone had been rolled
(B minor) Not a sign (A minor) of a corpse
in the (C major) dark and the cold
(D major) When she (A minor) reaches the door,
sees an unholy sight
There's this (D major) solitary figure
in a halo (D sharpdim) of light (B major)
He just (E minor) carries on floating
past Calvary Hill (C major)
In an (D major) almighty hurry,
aye but she (D sharpdim) might catch him (B major) still

Verse 2
"Tell me where (A minor) are ye going Lord,
and why (D major) in such haste?"
"Now don't (D sharpdim) hinder me woman,
(B major) I've (E minor) no time to waste!
For they're launching (A minor) a boat
on the morrow (D major) at noon
And I (D sharpdim) have to be there (B major) before daybreak
(E minor) Oh, I (A minor) cannot be missing,
the (A major) lads'll expect me
Why (D major) else would the good Lord
himself (D sharpdim) resur (B major) rect me?
For (E minor) noth ing will stop me, I have to prevail
(C major) Through the (D major) teeth of this tempest,
in the mouth of a (B major) gale
May the an (C major) gels protect me
if (A minor) all else (D major) should fail
When the last (C major) ship (B minor) sails" (E minor)
Oh, (G major) the
Verse 3
(C major) roar of the chains
and the (A minor) cracking of timbers
(D major) The (A minor) noise at the end (B minor) of
the world (C major) in your ears
(D major) As a (C major) mountain of steel
makes its (A minor) way to the sea
(D major) And the (C major) last ship (B minor) sails (E major)
(E minor) (C major) (A major) (B flat major)
Verse 4
(D flat major)
(C minor)
It's a (F major) strange kind of beauty,
(C minor) it's (B flat minor) cold and austere
(C minor) And whatever (B flat minor) it was (C minor) that
ye've (D flat major) done to be here
(E flat major) It's the sum (F minor) of yer hopes (F major)
(C minor) yer despair (B flat minor) s and yer fears
(C minor) When the (D flat major) last ship (C minor) sails (F major)
Verse 5
Well, the (D flat major) first to arrive (B flat minor) saw
these signs (B flat major) in the east
Like that strange (B major) moving finger
at (B minor) Balthaz (D major) ar's Feast
(C sharp minor) Where they (F sharp minor) asked the advice
(C sharp minor) of some wan (B minor) dering priest
(C sharp minor) And the sad (B minor) ghosts of men
(C sharp minor) whom they'd thought (D major) long deceased
(E major) And whatever (F sharp minor) got said,
(C sharp minor) they'd be coun (B minor) ted at least
(C sharp minor) When the (D major) last ship (C sharp minor) sails (F sharp minor)
Oh, (E major) the
Verse 6
(D major) roar of the chains and
the (B minor) cracking of timbers
(E major) The (B minor) noise at the end (C sharp minor) of
the world (D major) in your ears
(E major) As a (D major) mountain of steel
makes its (B minor) way to the sea
(E major) And the (D major) last ship (C sharp minor) sails (F sharp minor)
An (E major) d whatever
Verse 7
(D major) you'd promised,
whatever (B minor) you've done
(E major) And whatever (B minor) the station (C sharp minor)
in life (D major) you've become
(E major) In the name (D major) of the Father,
in the (B minor) name of the Son
(E major) And whatever (D major) the weave (C sharp minor) of
this (B minor) life that you've spun
(C sharp minor) On the (B minor) Earth or in Heaven (D major)
or (E major) under the Sun
When the (D major) last ship (C sharp minor) sails
