INTRO: Am Am E Am Am Am VERSE: Am I am standing here today E Without a dollar to my name Am I’ve paid my dues, I’ve jumped my claim E Am I’m a child of the wind. VERSE: Am Yes, I have sailed, and I have sunk E I’ve died of thirst, and I’ve been drunk Am Everything I own is packed into a trunk E Am It’s at the bottom of the ocean CHORUS: E Am C Oh yeah, the ships go in, the ships go out E Am The tide rolls in, and my days run out E Am C Everyday I’m on the watch F E For the boat I lost Dm E Am I’m all washed up VERSE: Am Yes, I have walked down foreign streets E I have heard secrets that I didn’t keep Am I once loved a girl, she was so sweet E Am She rotted out all of my teeth CHORUS: E Am C Oh yeah, the ships go in, the ships go out E Am The tide rolls in, and my days run out E Am C Everyday I’m on the watch F E For the boat I lost Dm E Am I’m all washed up BREAK: D Am It’s easy to get home E Am Under a tail wind G C G C But even when your anchor’s dropped G C G F Your seasons stopped, you're timbers dropped E Am And you’re all washed up. INSTRUMENTAL: Am E Am E Am E Am D Am E Am G C G C G C G F E Am VERSE: Am Yes, I’ve been baked, and I’ve been burned E I’ve been loved, and I’ve been spurned Am I’ve forgotten more than I have ever learned E Am It’s at the bottom of a bottle CHORUS: E Am C Oh yeah, the ships go in, the ships go out E Am The tide rolls in, and my days run out E Am C Everyday I’m on the watch F E For the boat I lost Dm E Am I’m all washed up Dm E Am Oh yes I’m all washed up Dm E Am Oh yes I’m all washed up OUTRO: Am Am E E Am
