GHOST MICE: EUROPE 

"Celtic Sea" 

A                       D 
At the last minute everything was okay 
A                              E 
We bought our tickets, we were on our way 
   A                       D 
It cost us six hundred and sixty-six Francs 
    A           E       A 
But that didn't mean anything 


A                     D         
On our way to Ireland on a French boat 
    A                 E 
And she had a Spanish captain 
   A                      D 
He welcomed us aboard and told us some jokes 
A            E             A 
We tried our best to laugh at them 


A                         D 
He said, "Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no 
         A                 E 
We can't have any women on here 
          A                               D  
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know, don't you know 
A                 E           A 
Truckers are like pirates, my dear" 


   A                         D 
He said not to worry, it was only a joke 
    A                   E 
And he showed us to our room 
    A                    D  
And as I was throwing my pack on the bed 
  A           E      A 
A man came in behind you 


      A                    D 
Said, "Hey, little lassie, are you alone? 
       A              E 
Do you need some company?" 
A                  D 
Then he saw me and he turned to leave 
A         E      A 
Sayin' he was sorry 


A                      D  
We closed our door and we locked it shut 
    A                       E 
And jumped up on our fluffy beds 
A                           D 
Blankets and pillows were a luxury to us, 
       A           E          A 
We had twenty-four hours with them 


   A                       D 
The captain he knocked and he woke us up 
   A                      E 
He told us it was time to eat 
         A                                   D 
There was cake, there were fries, there were all sorts of drinks 
   A               E          A 
And then we looked out at the sea 


    A                     D    
The waves, the waves, the waves, they rose 
A             E 
Up, up thirty feet 
     A           D     
Then down, down, down they'd go 
        A        E          A 
And our stomachs started to sink

    A                          D 
The captain, the captain, well he saved our lives 
   A                       E 
He gave us some tiny white pills 
A                        D 
We went to sleep for the rest of the ride, 
     A         E              A 
Woke up to the sight of green hills
