The Thresher

Fingerpickin'
[Intro]
Bm G F# Bm Em A F#
[Verse 1]
Bm G F# Bm
In Portsmouth town on the eastern shore
Em A F#
Where many a fine ship was born.
Bm G
The Thresher was built
F# Bm
And the Thresher was launched
Em A F#
And the crew of the Thresher was sworn.
Bm G
She was shaped like a tear
F# Bm
She was built like a shark
Em A F#
She was made to run fast and free.
Bm G
And the builders shook their hands
F# Bm
And the builders shared their wine,
Em A F#
And thought that they had mastered the sea.
[Chorus]
Bm F#
Yes, she'll always run silent
Em F#
And she'll always run deep
Emadd9 Bmadd9
Though the ocean has no pity
A F#
Though the waves will never weep
Bmadd9
They'll never weep.
[Verse 2]
Bm G
And they marvelled at her speed
F# Bm
And they marvelled at her depth
Em A F#
They marvelled at her deadly design
Bm G
And they sailed to every land
F# Bm
And they sailed to every port
Em A F#
Just to see what faults they could find
Bm G
Then they put her on the land
F# Bm
For nine months to stand
Em A F#
And they worked on her from stem to stern
Bm G
But they could never see
F# Bm
It was their coffin to be
Em A F#
For the sea was waiting for their return
[Chorus]
Bm F#
Yes, she'll always run silent
Em F#
And she'll always run deep
Emadd9 Bmadd9
Though the ocean has no pity
A F#
And the waves will never weep
Bmadd9
They'll never weep
[Verse 3]
Bm G
On a cold Wednesday morn
F# Bm
They put her her out to sea
Em A F#
When the waves they were nine feet high
Bm G
And they dove 'neath the waves
F# Bm
And they dove to their graves
Em A F#
And they never said a last goodbye
Bm G
And its deeper and deeper
F# Bm
And deeper they dove
Em A F#
Just to see what their ship could stand
Bm G
But the hull gave a moan
F# Bm
And the hull gave a groan
Em A F#
And they plunged to the deepest darkest sand
Bm G
Now she lies in the depths
F# Bm
Of the darkened ocean floor
Em A F#
Covered by the waters cold and still
Bm G
Oh can't you see the wrong
F# Bm
She was a death ship all along
Em A F#
Died before she had a chance to kill
[Chorus]
Bm F#
And she'll never run silent
Em F#
And she'll never run deep
Emadd9 Bmadd9
For the ocean had no pity
A F#
And the waves, they never weep
Bmadd9
They never weep
