[Verse 1]
F#mThe Greyhound's sinking in the waves, as fast the sea receives her
                  E                  D          E     F#mCurse the Reaper, bend your back and cheat your sorry grave!
F#mAnd Captain Bryce is on her deck, so we, her hands, may leave her
                  E                  D          E     F#mCurse the Reaper, bend your back and cheat your sorry grave!


[Chorus]
F#m       E                C#m                  D       ECurse the Reaper cowled in black, he's laughing at your failing
F#m       E            C#m                            Bm C#mPull that oar until it cracks, we're bound for better sailing

[Verse 2]
F#mAt Bryce's word we went aloft, and fought the screaming bluster

F#mWe shortened sails and trimmed the ropes, with all that we could muster
                  E                  D          E     F#mCurse the Reaper, bend your back and cheat your sorry grave!

[Verse 3]
F#mThe Greyhound fought to stay aright as, cruel, the wild waves tossed her

F#mBut when the mast began to crack, we knew that we had lost her
                  E                  D          E     F#mCurse the Reaper, bend your back and cheat your sorry grave!
