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

To chasing anonymous ships in the night?

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