Streets Of Aberdeen

D G There was a bad man who ran a shippin' town Bm G D He'd send you down the Wishkah set up to drown D G I hear he killed a hundred, only two were found Bm G D Now William's on the waterfront, he drags across the ground D G Out on the harbor sirens sing Bm G D "Goodnight Irene, oh I'll see you in my dreams" D G Those found wanting will be drawn beneath Bm G D To end up as ghosts who haunt the streets of Aberdeen D G There was a singer who stole the siren's song Bm G D And on a bank of the river, he sang all winter long D D G But water don't forgive you once you've done her wrong Bm G D He came down as rain when they found him dead at dawn D G Out on the harbor sirens sing Bm G D "Goodnight Irene, oh I'll see you in my dreams" D G Those found wanting will be drawn beneath Bm G D To end up as ghosts who haunt the streets of Aberdeen D G If we all die tomorrow, send us out to sea Bm G D Don't let our song come back in harmony D G And on All Hallows' Eve, set the lost souls free Bm G D And shine a red light on the ones that don't believe D G Out on the harbor sirens sing Bm G D "Goodnight Irene, oh I'll see you in my dreams" D G Those found wanting will be drawn beneath Bm G D To end up as ghosts who haunt the streets of Aberdeen
