Wooden Ships
G A D G A D
Em Am Am/F
If you smile at me I will understand
Em
Because that is something
Am Am/F Em Am Am/F
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
Em Am Am/F
I can see by your coat my friend you're from the other side
Em
There's just one thing I've got to know
Am Am/F Em Am Am/F
Can you tell me please, who won?
Em
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Am Am/F Em
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Am Am/F
Haven't got sick once
Em Am Am/F G A D
Probably keep us both alive
Chorus:
Em G A D
Wooden ships on the water, very free, and easy
Em G A D
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Em G A D
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
C Em
Talkin 'bout very free, and easy
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us
Go take a sister, then, by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us
Em Am Am/F
And it's a fair wind
Em Am Am/F
Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder
Em Em
Guess I'll set a course and go
Am / F: x 0 2 2 1
