Вступление

[Verse 1]

      Em                            G
Jayme Dawson was the Captain of the Christian and her crew,
       D                                    Em       D
And he flew and fought the Christian in the War of '82.
        Em                                     G
Now the Christian was the tightest ship 'tween here and Charlemagne,
        D                            Em
And the crew of Jayme Dawson was the same.

[Verse 2]

      Em                           G
On patrol in sector seven, keeping watch on Barber's sun,
          D                                          Em                 D
They were jumped by three light cruisers though they wern't a match for one.
        Em                                G 
As they came to general quarters and they sent out the alarm,
         D                                       Em
Dawson's crew was sure they'd finally bought the farm.

[Verse 3]

       Em                                G                 
No one living saw that battle though the fleet was quick to leave.
          D                                      Em                D
When they reached the site they found a scene no sane man could believe.
        Em                                     G      
Dead in space lay three light cruisers, cut to ribbons all around,
       D                                   Em
But no sign of Dawson's Christian could be found.

[Chorus 1]

          G              Em            G                     Em
There are stories of the Dutchman, the Celeste and Barnham's Pride,
          D                               Em          D
There are stories of the Horseman and the Lady at his side,
        G                   Em             G                 Em
But the tale that chills my spirit, more because I know it's true,
       D                            Em
Is the tale of Jayme Dawson and his crew,
         D                                  Em
Yes, the tale of Dawson's Christian and her crew.

[Verse 4]

      Em                             G 
I was second mate on Hera's Dream, a freighter of the line.
        D                               Em        D
We were shipping precious metals to the colony on Nine.
       Em                               G
It was on the second watch of that most uneventful flight,
         D                                Em
When the pirate ships appeared out of the night.

[Verse 5]

       Em                                 G
Now to me there was no question, for they had us four to one,
        D                                   Em               D
And you can't fight dirty pirates when your freighter has no gun.
      Em                          G
So we stood by to be boarded by a party yet unseen,
       D                            Em
When another ship appeared upon our screen.

[Verse 6]

         Em                                G
First we thought it just a pirate, but the vector was all wrong.
        D                                   Em            D
Then we thought it might be rescue, but the signal wasn't strong.
         Em                            G
When she didn't answer hailing, we all felt an unknown dread,
       D                                   Em
For we saw her shields were up and glowing red.

[Verse 7]

        Em                             G
Now the courage of that single ship is shown by very few,
       D                               Em               D
But we never knew a ship could fly the way the stranger flew.
      Em                              G
Never fearing guns or numbers, like a tiger to its meat,
    D                                 Em
The stranger then attacked the pirate fleet.

[Chorus 2]

        G                      Em                G                 Em
And the strangers beams burned brighter than all beams I'd seen before.
        D                                      Em           D
And the strangers shields were harder than the heart of any whore.
       G               Em              G                     Em
As the battle rent the ether, while we watched and shook our heads,
    D                               Em
The pirate ships were cut to bloody shreds.
    D                               Em
The pirate ships were cut to bloody shreds.

[Verse 8]

        Em                             G
Just as quickly as it started then the fighting was all done.
        D                                  Em                  D
For the pirate fleet was shattered and the stranger's ship had won.
          Em                                  G
Though we tried to call and thank her, not an answer could we draw,
         D                                       Em
Then she dropped her shields and this is what we saw.

[Verse 9]

           Em                                   G
There were thirty holes clear through her and a gash along one side,
       D                                   Em             D
And we knew that when it happened, that no crew were left alive.
        Em                                   G
For the markings all said Christian, deep inside us each one knew,
          D                            Em
'Twas the tomb of Jayme Dawson and his crew.

[Verse 10]

       Em                               G
Now instead of flying off, the stranger then began to fade,
          D                                  Em            D
First the hull, and then the bulkheads as we cowered there afraid,
           Em                         G
For as the Christian disappeared, the last to slip from view,
         D                             Em
Were the bones of Jayme Dawson and his crew.
         D                             Em
Yes, the bones of Jayme Dawson and his crew.

[Chorus 1]

          G              Em               G                  Em
There are stories of the Dutchman, the Celeste and Barnham's Pride,
          D                               Em          D
There are stories of the Horseman and the Lady at his side,
        G                   Em            G                 Em
But the tale that chills my spirit, and I swear to God it's true,
       D                            Em
Is the tale of Jayme Dawson and his crew,
         D                                  Em
Yes, the tale of Dawson's Christian and her crew.
