 The Scorpion Departs But Never Returns - Phil Ochs
 
 Capo IV
 
 Finger pick the verses, strum chorus
 
 Am
 The sailors climb the tree
 Up the terrible tree
 G
 Where are my shipmates
 Have they sunk beneath the sea
 Am
 I do not know much, but I know this cannot be
          G                F
 It isn't really, it isn't really
                  E
 Tell me it isn't really
 
 The sounding bell is diving down the water green
 Not a trace, not a tooth brush, not a cigarette was seen
 Bubble ball is rising from a whisper or a scream
 But I'm not screaming, no I'm not screaming
 Tell me I'm not screaming
 
 Chorus:
 C                        Bb
 Captain will not say how long we must remain
 C                   Am            Dm7
 The phantom ship forever sails the sea
 E
 It's all the same
 
 Captain, my dear Captain, we're staying down so long
 I have been a good man, I've done nobody wrong
 Have we left are ladies for the lyrics of a song
 That I'm not singing, no I'm not singing
 Tell me I'm not singing
 
 The schooner ship is sliding across the kitchen sink
 My son and my daughter, they won't know what to think
 The crew has turned to voting, and the officers to drink
 But I'm not drinking, no I'm not drinking
 Tell me I'm not drinking
 
 Chorus:
 
 The radio is begging them to come back to the shore
 All will be forgiven, it will be just like before
 All you've ever wanted will be waiting by your door
 We will forgive you, we will forgive you
 Tell me, we will forgive you
 
 But no one gives an answer, not even one good-bye
 The silence of their sinking is all that they reply
 Some have chosen to decay, and others chose to die
 But I'm not dying, no I'm not dying
 Tell me I'm not dying
 
 Chorus:
