Ton : ECapo 1English
AmThis is the legend of eight sisters, Herald was the famous one
It Fmaj7happened twenty years ago aClthough the sea waEs calm
AmIt was 1987 and winter nearly gone
On that Fmaj7Friday running late with rollingC off and rollinEg on
AmTrucks and cars were sleeping door by door and side by side
Someone Fmaj7had to close the back door
That day Cit must have slipped hisE mind
AmHe was fast asleep in his cabin, tired from cleaning out the hall
While Fmaj7passengers were eating, indulgingC duty-free-foEr-all

AmSailing with the doors wide open so the waves kept pouring in
As they Fmaj7passed the Outer Mole theC disaster coulEd begin
AmA hundred yards from the shore right outside a Belgian port
The Fmaj7lights went out the ship turned around andC fell to stEarboard
AmThen nothing but silence, silence and the cold
Fmaj7Herald and her sistersC never fit thEe mold

Pride and Fmaj7Spirit changed their names
They were all Cdoomed since they wereE built
