Ship Of Fools by Grateful Dead - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Grateful Dead Song List
Version 1 Version 2
Cm F Eb Bb
Bb F Eb Edim7 Bb
Went to see the captain, strangest I could find
Bb D Eb Dm Cm F
Laid my proposition down, Laid it on the line
Eb Bb Dm Cm
I won't slave for beggars’ pay, likewise gold and jewels
Eb Bb F Eb Bb
But I would slave to learn the way to sink your ship of fools
F Eb Bb
Ship of fools on a cruel sea
F Eb Gm
Ship of fools sail away from me
Gm
It was later than I thought
Edim7
When I first believed you
Cm F
Now I cannot share your laughter
Eb Bb
Ship of fools
Bb F Eb Edim7 Bb
Saw your first ship sink and drown from rocking of the boat
Bb D Eb Dm Cm F
And all that could not sink or swim was just left there to float
Eb Bb Dm Cm
I won't leave you drifting down, but whoa it makes me wild
Eb Bb F Eb Bb
With thirty years upon my head to have you call me child
F Eb Bb
Ship of fools on a cruel sea
F Eb Gm
Ship of fools sail away from me
Gm
It was later than I thought
Edim7
When I first believed you
Cm F
Now I cannot share your laughter
Eb Bb
Ship of fools
Bb F Eb Edim7 Bb
The bottle stands as empty, as they were filled before
Bb D Eb Dm Cm F
Time there was, and plenty, but from that cup, no more
Eb Bb Dm Cm
Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few
Eb Bb F Eb Bb
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools
F Eb Bb
Ship of fools on a cruel sea
F Eb Gm
Ship of fools sail away from me
Gm
It was later than I thought
Edim7
When I first believed you
Cm F
Now I cannot share your laughter
Eb Bb
Ship of fools
Gm
It was later than I thought
Gdim
When I first believed you
Cm F
Now I cannot share your laughter
Eb Bb
Ship of fools
