Nelson's Blood (Stripped Back)
[Verse 1]
Am
I’m built to burn them bridges
Am
Cuz I’m born to die at sea
Am
When this ship sails I’ll be in it
E7* (let ring)
Cuz you're better off without me
Am
We've weighed all of our options
Am
It’s leaning towards one choice
Am
The anchors weighed, I’ve spent my pay
E7*
I got one last night ashore
E7
but since we’re here let’s..
[Chorus]
Am
Raise another glass
Dm
Forget about the past
E
Poison all the bad blood between us
Am
Let’s take another lap
Dm
Pour it down the hatch
E
Till it’s lights out and we’re ships passing at night
Am
Ships passing at night
[Verse 2]
Am
Early in the morning weigh, hey she rises up
E7*
Sure I ain’t too sober but I need a drop of Nelson’s blood
Am
Pull me down from the taffrail
Am
Throw me one small hair of the dog
Am
Bully boys don’t hassle me…
E7*
I won’t stowaway for long
E7
but since we’re here let’s..
[Chorus]
Am
Raise another glass
Dm
Forget about the past
E
Poison all the bad blood between us
Am
Let’s take another lap
Dm
Pour it down the hatch
E
Till it’s lights out and we’re ships passing at night
Am
ships passing at night
[Solo]
Am E7 X2
Am
Raise another glass
Dm
Forget about the past
E
Poison all the bad blood between us
Am
Let’s take another lap
Dm
Pour it down the hatch
E
Till it’s lights out and we’re ships passing at night
