    Verse One (Jack Johnson)
  C
There must be a forecast
          G
That you won't let yourself see
             C
So you keep watching as you're driftin'
      G
Sail away from what you need
 C
Why don't I just give you
      G
Everything you'll take from me
     C
'Cuz nobody owns anything
     G
And everyone is free
 
Thats why
 
[Chorus]
 
  A                 C*
This ship is goin' down
 G
Desperately I need a sound
  A                C*           G
A song to sing so we can carry on
  A                    C*          G
Just let it be sung so we can carry on
 
[Verse 2] (Matt Costa)
 
C                          G
God fearing people at the bottom of the sea
C                               G
Walkin' without lanterns let a stone skip over thee
C                    G
Hi ho away as in the sea
C                        G
Hi ho be gone lets just dance
   G
Waltz above the ocean
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
  A                 C*
This ship is goin' down
 G
Desperately I need a sound
  A                C*           G
A song to sing so we can carry on
  A                    C*          G
Just let it be sung so we can carry on
A
Let it be sung so we
C*                             G
Let it be sung so we can carry on

[Verse 3](Zach Gill)
 
C
I've heard all of the stories
                        G
And in them I've put my trust
C                                  G
You gotta touch the botton before you can come back up
 C                                     G
And I know what you'r heart is telling you
   C                                    G
'Cuz my hearts telling me the same thing too
 
[Chorus 3]
 
  A                 C*
This ship is goin' down
 G
Desperately I need a sound
  A                C*           G
A song to sing so we can carry on
  A                    C*          G
Just let it be sung so we can carry on
A
Let it be sung so we
C*                             G
Let it be sung so we can carry on
