VERSE:

E5
Hear the rime of the ancient mariner
E5                          FILL A
See his eye as he stops one of three
E5
Mesmerises one of the wedding guests
C5                                     D5 FILL A  E5
Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea
C5
And the music plays on as the bride passes by
D5                                  FILL A/B  E5
Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale

FILL A:                              FILL B

VERSE 2:

E5                               FILL A
The mariner kills the bird of good omen
E5                               FILL A
His shipsmates cry against what he done
E5                               FILL A
But when the fog clears they justify him
E5
And make them-selves a part of the crime
C5                          D5
Sailing on and on and north across the sea

VERSE 5:

E5                                              FILL A
Day after day, day after day we stuck no breath nor motion
E5
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
D5                                           FILL A
Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink
E5
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink
