Ghost Ship

(início)

        Em                       A#m
Gatesy: See the lonely township, peacefully sleeping.
        Em                                  A#m
        The sun hides once again behind the sea-ea-ea-ea-ea-ea....
        Em
        Most are safely dreaming:
        A#m
        Angel kisses...
Yon:    (Makes \"kiss kiss kiss... flutter flutter flutter\" noises)
        (Pause)
Gatesy: Butterflies...
Yon:    BWARK! BWARK! BWARK!
        (Pause)
            Em                          D
Gatesy: But sinners can't escape so easily.
            Am                              Em
Yon:    The murderers, the thieves, and the fraudulent.
            Am                                 Em
Tripod: The overweight, the working-class, the foreigners.
Scod:   Urgh!
        Am                        Em
Tripod: They all must beware, for what's that looming there?
                D              B
        An evil spectre on the sea!
Scod:   Wooooaw!
        Em           C  D
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
        Em           C  D
        Ghost Ship!
        Em
        Ghost Ship!
                  C        D
Gatesy: Coming to get them...
        Em
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
                   C    D
Scod:   Sinners, beware!
        Em
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
                   C    D
Scod:   Ain't no escaping...
                B (palm muted)
Tripod: ... the Ghost Ship coming there...
Yon:    Toot toot!
        (Pause)
Scod:   What was that, Yon?
Yon:    What was that? It's the Ghost Ship - Toot toot!
Scod:   Yon, it's gotta be scary!
Yon:    Umm... right, yeah. TOOT TOOT.
Scod:   Yon, it's the Ghost Ship, all right. It's gotta be really disturbing.
Gatesy: Grrrrr....
Yon:    Umm... oh! Milky discharge.
Gatesy: Yeah!
Scod:   Yeah!
Gatesy: That's disturbing!
Scod:   Spot on!
            G
Scod:   Its masts are made of piled-up skulls,
            D
        Its decks are made of human nuts.
            C
        Its sails are made of sailor skin.
            D
Tripod: Its guts are made of...
Scod:   ... guts!
               Em
Tripod: It's a feat of engineering.
           C
Yon:    I wonder who built it?
                                D
Gatesy: I wonder who built it as well, Yonny.
        G                           D
Gatesy: Out of the night, under the ocean stars,
              G                            Em                                D
        I was standing with my baby on the boardwalk, and the Ghost Ship was there.
       C                  G
        I took her to the pictures,
       Am                   Em
        And then I took her home, yeah!
       C                       G (Scod stops playing)
        And then I took her to heaven, you know what I mean...
Gatesy: And it was kind of dirty, and we got out the Glad Wrap...
        (Audience cheer)
Scod:   I don't want to stop it, but... umm... now, I'm just gonna go with
        some of the audience reaction...
Gatesy: Yeah...
Scod:   ... and suggest that a few of the punters, they've spotted the same
        inconsistency that I've spotted, Gatesy! Now, when did this suddenly
        become about some woman?
Gatesy: Ohh, I see, right! Well, I figured that if this Tosswinkle the Pirate
        show was like a concept album, then this Ghost Ship song would be our
        first single, yeah? And we want to make a bit of money out of this for
        a change, yeah?
        So if we want to get this... want to get this single selling - sure,
        the guys, Dave, he loves that \"ooga booga\" scary stuff, with the galleon
        and the water, and OOOH!, but the girls - as soon as you talk about love,
        now you have the ladies listening. Ahh! Because the girls want to imagine
        they're making love to the singer.
        (Audience laughter)
Gatesy: They're not supposed to laugh at that one.
Scod:   Hmm!
Gatesy: Go with me guys on this - a one-ie and a two-ie and a three-four.
        Em          C
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
                D
Gatesy: My baby kisses like a...
        Em          C
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
                     D
Gatesy: I touched my baby on her...
        Em
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
                        C    D
Gatesy: My trousers are bursting...
Scod:   All right, all right, stop the train! Just a minute, all right, okay.
        Sorry - \"I touched my baby on her Ghost Ship\".
Gatesy: Yeah!
Scod:   Now... where exactly is a woman's \"Ghost Ship\"?
Gatesy: Don't you know?
Scod:   know... I'm just seeing, you know, if it translates.
Yon:    That... that's enough. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think you're
        onto something, Gatesy. I think, you know, this whole love thing could be...
        could be a bit of a... unit mover.
Gatesy: I reckon!
Yon:    Yeah! I mean, but, you're just coming in a little bit too fast, though, that's all.
Gatesy: You reckon?
Yon:    You know, you need to create a little bit of a mood, you know, get inside
        the head of a female girl, you know? Can I give you an example of what I mean?
Scod:   Sure.
Yon:    After two - one, two.
        Em
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
                      C     D
Yon:    Expressing my feelings...
        Em
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
                     C      D
Yon:    Being a good listener...
        Em
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
                        C    D
Yon:    A thoughtful companion...
Scod:   I don't even know what this song's about any more!
Gatesy: So, it's like foreplay?
Yon:    Yeah!
Scod:   NO! It's not about foreplay! All right, it's not, it's about a horrible
        spectral ship that comes to get sinners, all right?
Gatesy: Well, what are they wearing? Is it sort of a leather thing with a...
Scod:   No! For Christ's sake, will you just focus? Okay. There might be a woman
        on it, but it's because she's a sinner. So it's more like, okay, scary, like:
        G                                    D
Scod:   The woman's a sinner, she's gonna be dragged away...
            G                            Em                         D
Gatesy: But not before I bone her on the boardwalk till the morning comes!
        C                      G          Am                    Em
Yon:    I bought a sentimental card, with flowers and a pink desi-i-ign.
                  C             G
Scod:   She'll be torn apart by demons...
                                D
Gatesy: While she's touching my buns!
        Em
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
                   C      D
Yon:    A caring environment...
        Em
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
                     C    D
Scod:   A den of the damned...
        Em
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
                C   D
Gatesy: Overtly sexual...
        B
Scod:   Murderous!
Yon:    Empathy!
Gatesy: Nude!
Scod:   Banshees!
Yon:    Thoughtful!
Gatesy: ... Arse!
        Em
Tripod: Ghost Ship!
Gatesy: Yeah! Give it to me!
Scod:   You guys suck!
Yon:    Yeah!
Scod:   You're just encouraging him, don't!
