[Verse 1]
Dm C                   Bb          F
   Two in the morning, drydock town
Dm                C
  The river roll away in the night
Bb F Dm       C
       Little gypsy moth,
      Bb           F
she's all tied down
Dm                  C
  She quiver in the wind and the light
Bb F Dm
       Yeah,
    C                     Bb                 F
the sailing ship was just held down in chains
Dm             C            Bb  F
  Oh! From the lazy days of sail
Dm             C
  She's just a lying there,
Bb            F
silent in pain
Dm               C           Bb F
  He lean on the tourist rail

[Chorus]
Am                              Dm            C
  A mother and her baby and the college of war
Bb                      C
  In the concrete graves
Dm                C                 Bb       F
  You never wanna fight against the river law
Gm                      Bb
  Nobody rules the waves
               C
Yeah, and on a night, ah,
         C#(b5)        Dm     C
when the lazy wind is awailing
Bb
  Around the Cutty Sark
C        Dm           C          Bb   F
 And the singlehanded sailor goes  sailing
Gm                        Bb
  Sailing away in the dark

[Verse 2]
Dm     C                       Bb            F
  He's up on the bridge on the selfsame night
Dm               C
  The mariner of dry dock land
Bb F
Dm           C                     Bb             F
  Two in the morning but there's a one green light
Dm               C            Bb F
  And a man on a barge of sand

[Chorus]
Am                                 Dm   C
  But she's a gonna slip away below  him
Bb
  Away from the things he's done
C       Dm           C
 But he just shouts, "Hey man,
Bb                 F
what you call this thing?"
Gm                                Bb
  He could have said "Pride of London"
     C              C#(b5)        Dm     C
On a night when the lazy wind is awailing
Bb
  Around the Cutty Sark
C
 Yeah,
    Dm           C          Bb   F
the singlehanded sailor goes  sailing
Gm                        Bb
  Sailing away in the dark
