Dm Eb Bb
Verse 1:
Bb F
I went a backassed way to Berkley
Dm Eb Bb
When I rode the Westport Ferry
Bb F
I should've known it would change my life
Dm Eb Bb
When I rode the Westport Ferry
Verse 2:
What did I do aboard the boat,
On the Westport Ferry
I wrapped warm bodies in plastic wrap
On the Westport Ferry
Verse 3:
The current is mighty and the channel is steep
Around the Westport Ferry
Think of how many brilliant men were lost in that murky deep
Around the Westport Ferry
Bridge:
F Bb Eb Bb Eb
I will float again
F Bb Eb Bb Eb
When they're done dredging
F Bb Eb Bb Eb
That stubborn crowd won't disperse
F Bb Eb Bb F
'Til that barge becomes a hearse
