Finger pick the verses, strum chorus

Am
Sailors climb the tree, up the terrible tree
G
Where are my shipmates have they sunk beneath the sea?
Am
I do not know much, but i know this cannot be
G f
It isn't really, it isn't really,
E
Tell me it isn't really.

Sounding bell is diving down the water green
Not a trace, not a toothbrush, not a cigarette was seen
Bubble ball is rising from a whisper or a scream
But i'm not screaming, no i'm not screaming,
Tell me i'm not screaming.

Captain will not say how long we must remain
C am dm7
The phantom ship forever sail the sea
E
It's all the same.

Captain my dear captain we're staying down so long
I have been a good man, i've done nobody wrong
Have we left our ladies for the lyrics of a song?
That i'm not singing, i'm not singing
Tell me i'm not singing

The schooner ship is sliding across the kitchen sink



My son and my daughter they won't know what to think
The crew has turned to voting and the officers to drink
But i'm not drinking, no i'm not drinking
Tell me i'm not drinking

Captain will not say how long we must remain
The phantom ship forever sail the sea
It's all the same.

The radio is begging them to come back to the shore
All will be forgiven, it'll be just like before
All you've ever wanted will be waiting by your door
We will forgive you, we will forgive you
Tell me we will forgive you

But no one gives an answer not even one goodbye
Oh, the silence of their sinking is all that they reply
Some have chosen to decay and other chose to die-
