Am
This is the legend of eight sisters, Herald was the famous one
   F7+                       C                  E
It happened twenty years ago although the sea was calm
Am
It was 1987 and winter nearly gone
        F7+                            C               E
On that Friday running late with rolling off and rolling on

Am
Trucks and cars were sleeping door by door and side by side
        F7+
Someone had to close the back door
         C                        E
That day it must have slipped his mind
Am
He was fast asleep in his cabin, tired from cleaning out the hall
      F7+                             C             E
While passengers were eating, indulging duty-free-for-all

In just ninety seconds, right down to the wire

Am
Sailing with the doors wide open so the waves kept pouring in
        F7+                     C              E
As they passed the Outer Mole the disaster could begin
Am
A hundred yards from the shore right outside a Belgian port
    F7+                                      C           E
The lights went out the ship turned around and fell to starboard
Am
Then nothing but silence, silence and the cold
F7+                  C             E
Herald and her sisters never fit the mold

Two months later she was refloated a final one-way trip exchange
          F7+                                C                  E     
Pensioned off into the Thirld World where they named her Flushing Range
Am
But in ’88 she broke in two, probably because of guilt
          F7+
Pride and Spirit changed their names
              C                      E
They were all doomed since they were built

I was just a boy then, holding daddy’s hands
