    Dm          Eb               Bb

Verse 1:
         Bb               F
I went a backassed way to Berkley
       Dm       Eb       Bb
When I rode the Westport Ferry

  Bb                       F
I should've known it would change my life
       Dm       Eb       Bb
When I rode the Westport Ferry

Verse 2:
What did I do aboard the boat,
On the Westport Ferry
I wrapped warm bodies in plastic wrap
On the Westport Ferry

Verse 3:
The current is mighty and the channel is steep
Around the Westport Ferry
Think of how many brilliant men were lost in that murky deep
Around the Westport Ferry

Bridge:
F                Bb   Eb    Bb   Eb
   I will float again
F                        Bb   Eb    Bb   Eb
   When they're done dredging
F                               Bb   Eb    Bb   Eb
   That stubborn crowd won't disperse
F                                    Bb   Eb    Bb   F
   'Til that barge becomes a hearse
