She Gwent down last G/F#October in a C/Gpou_-ring Ddriving Grain_
The Amskipper_ he'd_ been Amdrinking and_ the MCate_ he felt no Dpain_
Too Gclose_ to Three Mile_ G/F#Rock_ and she was C/Gdealt her mortal Gblow_
And the AmMary Ellen AmCarter settled Dlow__ D
There were Gjust us five aG/F#board her_ when she C/Gfinally Dwas aGwash_
We'd Amworked like hell_ to Amsave her_ all_ hCeedless of the Dcost_
And the Ggroan_ she gave as G/F#she went down_ it C/Gcaused us to proGclaim_
That the AmMary Ellen DCarter would rise__ again___

Well_ the Gowners wrote her G/F#off_ not a C/Gnickel_ Dwould they Gspend_
"She gave Amtwenty years_ of Amservice_ boys_ then mCet her sorry Dend_
But inGsurance paid the G/F#loss to us_ so let C/Gher_ rest beGlow"_
Then they Amlaughed at us_ and_ Amsaid we had_ to Dgo__ D
But we Gtalked of her all G/F#winter_ some C/Gdays_ aDround the Gclock_
She's Amworth a quarter Ammillion_ afCloat and at the Ddock_
And with Gevery jar that G/F#hit the bar_ we C/Gswore we would reGmain_
And make the AmMary Ellen DCarter rise_G_ again_G_
Rise_Am_ again_D_ rise_G_ agG/F#a-ain__C/G thDat her_ namCe_ not be loCst_
To the Gknow_-ledge of Dmen_
Oh_Gthose_ who loved her G/F#best_ and were C/Gwith her_ 'Dtil_ the Gend_
Will make the AmMary Ellen DCarter rise_G __ again___

All Gspring_ now_ we've been G/F#with her on a C/Gbarge lent Dby a Gfriend_
Three Amdives_ a day in Amhard hat suit and tCwice I've had the Dbends_
Thank GGod_ it's only G/F#sixty feet and_ the C/Gcurrents here are slGow_
Or I'd Amnever_ have the Amstrength_ to go_ beDlow__ D
But we've Gpatched her rents_ G/F#stopped her vents_ dogged C/Ghatch and Dporthole_ Gdown_
Put Amcables to her_ 'Amfore and aft_ and gCirded her aDround_
ToGmorrow_ noon_ we G/F#hit the air_ and C/Gthen take up the Gstrain_
And make the AmMary Ellen DCarter rise_G_ again_G_
Rise_Am_ again_D_ rise_G_ agG/F#a-ain__C/G thDat her_ namCe_ not be loCst_
To the Gknow_-ledge of Dmen_
Oh_Gthose_ who loved her G/F#best_ and were C/Gwith her_ 'Dtil_ the Gend_
Will make the AmMary Ellen DCarter rise_G __ again___

For we Gcouldn't leave_ her G/F#there_ you see_ to C/Gcrumble Dinto Gscale_
She'd Amsaved our lives_ so Ammany times_ lCiving_ through the Dgale_
And the Glaughing_ drunken G/F#rats who left her C/Gto a sorry_ Ggrave_
They Amwon't be laughing_ Amin_ another_ Dday__ D
And Gyou_ to whom adG/F#versity_ has C/Gdealt the Dfinal Gblow_
With Amsmiling bastards Amlying to you eCverywhere_ you Dgo_
Turn Gto_ and put out all G/F#your strength of C/Garm and heart and Gbrain_
And like the AmMary Ellen DCarter rise_G_ again_G_
Rise_Am_ again_D_ rise_G_ agG/F#a-ain__C/G thDough your heaCrt_ it be bro_-kenC_ [2x]
And Glife about_ to Dend_
No_ Gmatter_ what you've G/F#lost_ be it a_ C/Ghome_ a Dlove_ a Gfriend_
But the AmMary Ellen DCarter rise_G __ again___
