"Fourteenth of February, eighteen ninety-nine, 
The British Ship Veronica was lost without a sign"

Baa baa black sheep, 
you haven't any wool. 
Captain Richardson 
left himself a lonely wife in Hull.

[End of Flamenco part, strumming begins)
(You can play + instead of , but I think  sounds fine. You could also play a )

Cherub, I lost a ship in the Baltic sea. 
  I'm on an iceberg running free. 

Sitting, filing this berg to the shape of a ship; 
sailing my way back to your lips. 
One passing ship gave word that 
you have moved out of your old flat, 
                              () 
you love the Vicar more than words can say. 
  Tell him to pray 
                         ()           
that I won't melt  a___way  and I'll see your  face again. 

O____des____sa___,   how strong am I______?
            ()                
O____des___sa___     how time goes by_____

(add a  note if you so wish)

(Bass comes in here)

Treasure, you know the neighbours that live next door, 
  they haven't got their dog anymore. 

               ()                       
Freezing, sailing around in the North Atlantic, 
can't seem to leave the sea anymore. 
I just don't understand 
why you just moved to Finland. 
                               ()  
You love that Vicar more than words can say. 
  Ask him to pray 
                      ()           
that I won't melt  a___way and I'll see your face again. 

O____des____sa___,   how strong am I______?
            ()                 
O____des___sa___     how time does fly_____
