Herald of Free Enterprise Milow
This is the legend of eight sisters, Herald was the famous one
It [Fmaj7]happened twenty years ago al[C]though the sea was [E]calm
[Am]It was 1987 and winter nearly gone
On that [Fmaj7]Friday running late with rolling [C]off and rolling [E]on
[Am]Trucks and cars were sleeping door by door and side by side
Someone [Fmaj7]had to close the back door
That day [C]it must have slipped his [E]mind
[Am]He was fast asleep in his cabin, tired from cleaning out the hall
While [Fmaj7]passengers were eating, indulging [C]duty-free-for-[E]all
[Fmaj7]Herald [G]of Free [C]Enterprise
[Fmaj7]Herald [G]of Free [C]Enterprise
[Fmaj7]Herald [G]of Free [Am]Enterprise
In just [Fmaj7]ninety seconds, [G]right down to the [C]wire
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/milow/herald_of_free_enterprise_crd.html )
[Am]Sailing with the doors wide open so the waves kept pouring in
As they [Fmaj7]passed the Outer Mole the [C]disaster could [E]begin
[Am]A hundred yards from the shore right outside a Belgian port
The [Fmaj7]lights went out the ship turned around and [C]fell to star[E]board
[Am]Then nothing but silence, silence and the cold
[Fmaj7]Herald and her sisters [C]never fit the [E]mold
[Fmaj7]Herald [G]of Free [C]Enterprise
[Fmaj7]Herald [G]of Free [C]Enterprise
[Fmaj7]Herald [G]of Free [Am]Enterprise
In just [Fmaj7]ninety seconds, [G]right down to the [C]wire
[Am]Two months later she was refloated a final one-way trip exchange
Pensioned [Fmaj7]off into the Thirld World where they [C]named her Flushing [E]Range
[Am]But in ’88 she broke in two, probably because of guilt
Pride and [Fmaj7]Spirit changed their names
They were all [C]doomed since they were [E]built

[Fmaj7]Herald [G]of Free [C]Enterprise
[Fmaj7]Herald [G]of Free [Am]Enterprise
In just [Fmaj7]ninety seconds, [G]right down to the [C]wire
[Am]This is the legend of eight sisters, Herald was the famous one
It [Fmaj7]happened twenty years ago al[C]though the sea was [E]calm
[Am]I was just a boy then, holding daddy’s hands
[Fmaj7]Watching on tv how Herald[C]217;s time came [E]to an end
