[Verse 1]
E                        A              E
I do believe my eyes are telling me lies,
E                     A               E
I saw a ship ashore, as baked apple pie.
E                      A               E
Hidin' in corners and climbing up trees,

[Chorus]
E                   A          E
love is a big ship, a-following me.
E            A             E                 A            E
Big ship, following me, love is a big ship, a-following me.

Some like it cool, some like it hot,

you see me cool, like a fool, with all the lovin’ I got.
E                          A                 E
Passing the world and the world passing me,

[Chorus]
E                     A             E
love is a big ship, a-following me.
E            A             E                A           E
Big ship, following me, love is a big ship, a-following me.
