(Em Bm Am)
If you smile at me you know I will understand
Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
In the same language
I can see by your coat my friend that you're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please who won
You must try some of my purple berries
I been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive
(Em G D) C
(Em G D)
Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
C Em
Very free and easy
(Em C)
Sail away where the mornin sun goes high
Sail away where the wind blows sweet and young birds fly
Take a sister THEN by her hand
D C D
Lead her far from this barren land
(Em G D)
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cry and
Stare as all you human feelings die
C
We are leaving
Em
You don't need us
(C Em)
(Em G D)
Go and take a sister by her hand
Lead her far from this foreign land
Somewhere where we might laugh again
C
We are leaving
Em
You don't need us
(C Em) D
(Em G D)
Sailing ships on the water very free and easy
Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
C
Very free
Em
And gone
(Em G D) (Em D)
