Shipbuilding Cifras

[Verse 1]
F#m     F         A
Is it worth it?
              Dm7                     E
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
Em                F
    And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
E                            A
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
Dm7                   E
By the women and children
                    A
Soon we'll be shipbuilding
 
[Verse 2]
F#m      F        A
Well I ask you
                                     Dm7         E
The boy said, "Dad they're going to take me to task
Em            F
But I'll be back by Christmas"
E                             A
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
Dm7                             E
Somebody said that someone got filled in
F#m                  E
For saying that people get killed in
F#m                  E
The result of their shipbuilding
 
[Bridge]
A             G
With all the will in the world
          F
Diving for dear life
E                   A
When we could be diving for pearls

[Verse 3]
E                             A
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
Dm7                E
A telegram or a picture postcard
F#m                           E
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyard
F#m                 E
And notifying the next of kin
A
Once again
 
[Outro]
A                G
It's all we're skilled in
                 F        E    A
We will be shipbuilding
A             G
With all the will in the world
       F
Diving for dear life
E                   A
When we could be diving for pearls
A              G
With all the will in the world
        F
Diving for dear life
E                  A
When we could be diving for pearls
