Verse 1
G
"Oh the
F
C
engine's gone dead," cried the men who work there
Am
And she passed up the dock
F
C
on the wide Delaware
G
Then the ship ran aground
F
C
and the oil got away
Am
And they penned that report,
F
C
"The Big Spill" on that day
G
It was hundreds of thousands
F
C
of gallons galore
Am
Stretching thirty- two miles down
F
C
the Delaware shore
G
There were geese in the marshes
F
C
out looking for food
Am
They got stuck where they stood
F
C
in the oncoming crude
G
C
F
And it's oil, oil
C
G
Ah, drifting to the sea
C
Oil, oil
Bm
Don't buy it at the station,
Am
you can have it now for free
D
Just come on down to the shoreline
C
Am
C
G
where the wa ter used to be
In the well- charted waters of the
F
C
Nantucket shoals
Am
F
There's a ship run aground full of oil,
C
we were told
G
In a week's worth of rough winter
F
C
Am
weather and waves
The boat started cracking and
F
C
it could not be saved
G
It was seven- point- six million
F
C
Am
gallons this time
Consider the danger and
F
C
think of the crime
G
As it poured out a slick
F
C
stretching into the tide
Am
Over hundred- miles and yes,
F
C
it came deep, it came wide
G
C
F
And it's oil, oil
C
G
Oil pouring in the sea
C
Oil, oil
Bm
Oh, don't buy it at the station,
Am
you can have it now for free
D
Just come on down to the shoreline
C
G
where the water used to be
D
G
There's talk of some writing found
F
C
in the ship's log
Am
Saying one of the
F
C
helmsmen's unfit for his job
G
And the ship's gyro compass
F
C
was six degrees shy
Am
Their charts were outdated but they,
F
C
they tried to get by
G
C
F
And you know it's oil, oil
C
G
Yeah, pouring in the sea
C
Oil, oil
Bm
Don't buy it at the station,
Am
you can have it now for free
D
Just come on down to the shoreline
C
G
where the water used to be
F
C
G
F
C
G
Yeahhh
Now both of these ships,
F
C
like a great many more
Am
F
C
Got registered in through Liberian doors
G
Inspections are quick and
F
C
regulations are few
Am
F
Just sign on the line and go find you a crew,
C
G
yes
One of these ships was the
F
C
Am
Olympic Games
The Argo Merchant was the
F
C
other one's name
G
Well it's sad, but it's true,
F
C
things got worse for the seas
Am
F
'Cause I ain't even mentioned
C
G
Amoco Cadiz
Amoco Cadiz,
F
C
Am
between England and France
The big super tanker out there
F
C
taking it's chance
G
With its one- hundred- thousand black
F
C
Am
tons of the slime
Amoco Cadiz spilled the
F
C
most of all time
G
C
F
Yes, ya' know it's oil, oil
C
G
Man, it's creepin' in the sea
C
Oil, oil
Bm
Oh, don't buy it at the station,
Am
you can have it now for free
D
Just come on down to the shoreline
C
Am
C
Am
G
where the water used to be
Now down in the Gulf east of
F
C
Am
Mexico Way
There's something gone wrong,
F
C
G
so the papers all say
F
A Mexican oil well is leaking
C
Am
it's goo
They say it's the worse that
F
C
things have ever come to
G
Yes it's gallons of sludge,
F
C
Am
sixty- million and more
It's cruising and oozing
F
C
towards many a shore
G
Yes, things have got bad but
F
C
they will probably get worse
Am
If you can 't drink the oil, oh, you might,
F
C
you might die of thirst
G
C
F
Because it's oil, it's oil
C
G
And it's creeping in the sea
C
Oil, oil
Bm
Don't buy it at the station,
Am
you can have it now for free
D
Just come on down to the shoreline where the
C
water used to be
