[Verse 1]
AmG
When I came home from the Anzio shore, I got me a job at a Shiretown store
GAm
I married up quick, we had the one son, my limit was hit and my race was run
AmG
We raised him right and we put him through school, with a gentle embrace and an iron rule
GAm
Our world was shattered when we lost our son, to the business end of a gangster's gun
[Chorus]
CFC
How do you go from the Bernhardt Line (a burned out light?)
CG
To chasing anonymous ships in the night?
CFC
How do you live with a lingering ghost?
CGAm
Ohhhh with a run on the banks
CGAm
Ohhhh with a run on the banks
AmGAm
[Verse 2]
AmG
When they buried my boy of 22 years, I swore I'd do more than choke on my tears
GAm
So I hardened up my heart, took up the oath, and looked for ways to avenge us both
AmG
Me and his mother, we never were the same, she left me one spring and I am to blame
GAm
I forgot about living, forgot about her, forgot about love and the way things were
[Chorus]
CFC
How do you go from the Bernhardt Line (a burned out light?)

Ohhhh with a run on the banks

Ohhhh with a run on the banks
EmDBmEmEmDBmEmEmDBmEmEmDBmEm
[Verse 3]
AmG
Sixteen guns, 25 kilos, a couple thousand rounds when we run her aground
GAm
The crew bailed out and headed for the hills, with a barrel of blow and a mountain of pills
AmG
No arrest in her majesty's waters, no victory for the mothers and fathers
GAm
Of the young and the damned, the guilty walk free, to continue their trade on a cruel black sea
[Chorus]
