Ghost Ship Chords & Lyrics - Tripod (australia)

[Em]See the lonely township,

[Bbm]peacefully sleeping,

the [Em]sun hides once again behind the [Bbm]sea,

[Em]most are safely dreaming,

[Bbm]angel kisses
*Yon makes kissing noises*

and butterflies
*Yon makes a weird roaring screetching noise*

But [Em]sinners can't escape so easily,[D]

The [Am]murderers, the thieves and the [Em]fruadulant,

The [Am]overweight, the working-class, the [G]foreigners,

[Am]they all must beware, for [Em]whats that looming there?

an evil [D]specter on the [B7]sea

*I think Scod uses a different voicing of D but I'm not certain.

Waow, [Em]ghost ship,[C] [D]

[Em]Ghost ship, [C] [D]

[Em]Ghost ship, coming to [C]get them, [D]

[Em]Ghost Ship, sinners be[C]ware, [D]

[Em]Ghost ship, ain't no e[C]scaping, [D]

The [B]ghost ship coming near.

*Yon does a high pitched toot-toot*
What was that?
It was the ghost ship
*does toot-toot noise again*
No man its got to be really scary.
*Yon does a deeper toot-toot*
No really disturbing.
Oh... milky discharge.
Ewww... yeah thats better.

Its [G]masts are made of piled up skulls,

its [D]deck is made of human nuts,

its [C]sails are made of sailor skins,

its [D]guts are made of... guts.

It's a [Em]feat of engineering

I [C]wonder who built it

I wonder who built it as well Yonnie

[G]out in the night, under the [D]ocean sky,

I was sta[G]nding with my baby on the boardwalk and the ghost ship was [D]ther[C#]e, [C]

I took her to the [G]pictures, [Am]

and then I took her [Em]home, [C]

G...
and then I took her to heaven, you know what i mean...

Umm... I don't want to stop it or anything but I am going to go with some of the
chuckles from the

audience out there and suggest that a few of these punters have spotted the same
inconscitencies in

this song as I have. Um, when did this song become about some woman?

Well I kinda figured that the guys love all the evil ghost ship, scary demonic muah
boogyman kinda

stuff. But as soon as you start to talk about love, now you have the ladies listening.
Because the

ladies want to imagine that they are making love to the singer.

What?!?!?!

Nah I read it in Rolling Stone go with me, right... 1e and a 2e and 3, 4

[CHORUS]
[Em]Ghost Ship [C]

My baby [D]kisses like a [Em]ghost ship, [C]

I touch my [D]baby on her [Em]ghost ship,

my trousers are [C]bursting... [D]

Alright, Alright, just a minute here. I touch my baby on her ghost ship??? Where exactly
is a woman's

ghost ship?

Don't you know?

I don't think he knows! Anyway, anyway I cant believe I am saying this but i think that
he is onto

something. but you may be coming in a little too fast, now if you want to do this love
thing you have

got to create a bit of a mood. You have to get inside the head of a female girl, tell
them what they

want to hear.

Can I give you an example?

[CHORUS]
[Em]Ghost ship, Expressing my [C]feelings, [D]

[Em]Ghost Ship, Being a good [C]listener, [D]

[Em]Ghost Ship, Thoughtful com[C]panion, [D]


I dont even know what this song is about anymore.
It's like foreplay
Yeah
No!!!
Its not about foreplay, its about a horrible spectral ship that comes and gets sinners.
What are they wearing?
NO!!!
There is no focus, if there is a woman on it then its because she is a sinner. Do you
get it? Right?
Yeah

[G]The woman's a sinner,

she's going to be [D]dragged away,

But [G]not before I bone her on the boardwalk 'till the morning [D]comes,

I [C]wrote a sentimental [G]card

with [Am]flowers and a pink des[Em]ign,

She'll be [C]torn apart by d[G]emons

While she's touching my [D]buns

[CHORUS]
[Em]Ghost ship, caring [C]environment, [D]

[Em]Ghost ship, den of the [C]damned, [D]

[Em]Ghost Ship, Overtly [C]Sexual [D]

[B]Murderous

Empathy

Lude

Banshees

Thoughtful

Arse

[Em]Ghost Ship!
