The Thresher Lyrics - Phil Ochs

The Thresher
BmF#B
In Portsmouth town on the eastern shor
EmA
Where many a fine ship was born
Bm
The Thresher was buil
F#B
And the Thresher was launche
EmAF
And the crew of the Thresher was sworn
Bm
She was shaped like a tea
F#B
She was built like a shar
EmAF
She was made to run fast and free
Bm
And the builders shook their hand
F#B
And the builders shared their wine
EmAF
And thought that they had mastered the sea
