[Verse 1]
G
She went down last October
C G
In a pouring driving rain
Am
The skipper he'd been drinking and
C D
The mate he felt no pain
G
Too close to Three Mile Rock and she was
C G
Dealt her mortal blow
Am D
And the Mary Ellen Carter settled low
G
There was just us five aboard her
C G
When she finally was a-wash
Am
We worked like hell to save her
C D
All heedless of the cost
G
And the groan she gave as she went down
C G
It caused us to proclaim
Am D G
That the Mary Ellen Carter would rise again
|C D |G |
|C D |
[Verse 2]
G
Well the owners wrote her off
C G
Not a nickel would they spend
Am
"She gave twenty years of service, boys
C D
Then met her sorry end
G
But insurance paid the loss to us
C G
So let her rest below."
Am
Then they laughed at us
D
And said we had to go
G
But we talked of her all winter
C G
Some days around the clock
Am
She's worth a quarter million
C D
Afloat and at the dock
G
And with every jar that hit the bar
C G
We swore we would remain
Am D G
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again!
[Chorus]
Am D G
Rise again, rise again
C
That her name not be lost
G D
To the knowledge of men
G
All those who loved her best and
C D G
Were with her 'til the end
Am D G
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again
|C D |G |
|C D |
[Verse 3]
G
All spring now we've been with her
C G
On a barge lent by a friend
Am
Three dives a day in a hardhat suit and
C D
Twice I've had the bends
G
Thank God it's only sixty feet and
C G
The currents here are slow
Am
Or I'd never have the strength
D
To go below
G
But we've patched her rents, stopped her vents
C G
Dogged hatch and porthole down
Am
Put cables to her fore and aft
C D
And girded her around
G
Tomorrow noon, we hit the air
C G
And then take up the strain and
Am D G
Make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again!
[Chorus]
Am D G
Rise again, rise again
C
That her name not be lost
G D
To the knowledge of men
G
All those who loved her best and
C D G
Were with her 'til the end
Am D G
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again
|G |C |D |C G |

[Verse 4]
G
For we couldn't leave her there,
C G
You see, to crumble into scale
Am
She'd saved our lives so many times
C D
Living through the gale
G
And the laughing, drunken rats
C G
Who left her to a sorry grave
Am D
They won't be laughing in another day
G C G
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow
Am
With smiling bastards lying to you
C D
Everywhere you go
G
Turn to and put out all your strength
C G
Of arm and heart and brain
Am D G
And like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again!
[Chorus]
Am D G
Rise again, rise again
C
Though your heart it be broken
G D
Or life about to end
G
No matter what you've lost
C D G
Be it a home, a love, a friend
Am D G
Like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again
Am D G
Rise again, ri-i-ise again
C
Though your heart it be broken
G D
Or life about to end
G
No matter what you've lost
C D G
be it a home, a love, a friend
Am D G
Like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again

The record is in DADGAD, with a capo on the 5th fret. Pretty much perfect besides that.

"We swore" should be Am, not G, but aside from that, it's perfect.

I believe the "mandolin solo" is actually 12-string guitar with capo 5 as seen in this video...
