Wooden Ships

G5                       
If you smile at me I would 
  Cmaj7   Dm
understand
                G5
Because that is something
Everyone does everywhere in the 
Cmaj7  Dm      G5 Cmaj7 Dm
same language
G5                             
I can see by your coat my friend 
                  Cmaj7 Dm
you’re from the other side
        G5
There's just one thing I've got to 
know
        Cmaj7   Dm          G5    
Can you tell me please, who won?

You must try some of my purple

berries
            Dm            G5
I've been eating them for six or 
seven weeks now

Wooden ships on the water, very free
Em                             A 
Easy, you know the way it's 
       D

Very free and easy

Em                  Cmaj7        
Sail away where the morning sun 
        Em Cmaj7
goes high
Em                     Cmaj7     
   Sail away where the wind blows
           Em              Cmaj7
 sweet and young birds fly

lead her far from this barren land

Em                    A         D
Horror grips us as we watch you die
Em                         A     
All we can do is echo your 
    D
anguished cries
Em                 A        D
Stare as all human feelings die
Cmaj7                         Em
