Hoist Up The Thing
The Longest Johns
Gm
(início)
D G D Fresh out of college, with grades straight from Hell D A I browsed for a trade at which I could excel D An ad for a ship in need of some manning D A D Men, sails, and purpose, but lacking a captain
Verse 2
G D What luck, says I, to find such good fortune! A D A few white lies later, I ran down the pier G D Bought me a coat and a cutlass or two A Jumped on the deck, and I yelled at the crew:
Chorus
G D Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit! A D What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! G D Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it! A D Trust me, I'm in control!
Verse 3
D G D I can't sing the shanties, it has to be said D A And all of that grog just goes right to my head D G D Whale meat is gross and I miss a girl's laugh D A Five weeks at sea, even Dave seems a catch!
Chorus
G D Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit! A D What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! G D Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it! A D Trust me, I'm in control!
Verse 4
D G D We've hit icy waters, no land to be seen D A The food's getting low and the beer has gone green Bb Gm There's murmurs of discontent under the deck F A If I don't act fast, it could be my neck!
Verse 5
D G D So pull up the charts and those weird gold machines D A I see what it says but no clue what it means! D G D Just pull on some levers and yank on some chains D A Feign a bad back 'til we've landed again
Chorus
G D Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit! A D What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! G D Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it! A D Trust me, I'm in control! G D Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit! A D What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! G D Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it! A D Trust me, I'm in control! G D Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit! A D What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! G D Turn hard to port! (That's not port) Now I've got it! A D Trust me, I'm in control! G D Hoist up the thing! Batten down the whatsit! A D What's that thing spinning? Somebody should stop it! (BLOODY HELL!) G D Turn hard to port! (This is SHERRY!) Now I've got it! (Screaming) A G D Trust me, I'm in control! (MOMMY) A D Trust me, I'm in control!
