phil ochs - the thresher lyrics
pre>
bm f# bm
in portsmouth town on the eastern sh-r-
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.
bm f#
yes, sh-ll always run silent
em f#
and sh-ll always run deep
em bm
though the ocean has no pity
a f#
though the waves will never weep
bm
theyll never weep.
and they marvelled at her speed
marvelled at her depth
marvelled at her deadly design.
and they sailed to every land
and they sailed to every port
just to see what faults they could find.
then they put her on the land
for nine months to stand
and they worked on her from stem to stern.
but they could never see
it was their coffin to be
for the sea was waiting for their return.
yes, sh-ll always run silent
and sh-ll always run deep
though the ocean has no pity
and the waves will never weep
theyll never weep.
on a cold wednesday morn
they put her her out to sea
when the waves they were nine feet high.
and they dove beneath the waves
and they dove to their graves
and they never said a last goodbye.
and its deeper and deeper
and deeper they dove
just to see what their ship could stand.
but the hull gave a moan
and the hull gave a groan
and they plunged to the deepest darkest sand.
now she lies in the depths
of the darkened ocean floor
covered by the waters cold and still.
oh cant you see the wrong
she was a death ship all along
died before she had a chance to kill.
[final chorus same but in past tense].
[alternate final verse from an early broadside tape]
and its 8000 fathoms of the water above
and over 100 men below
and sealed in their tomb
is the cause of their doom
that only the sea will ever know /pre>
