Am Dm F Am

[Verse 1]
     Am
There is a ship
      Dm                          Am
Its sails were like two hearts beating, and
      F                          Am
Its pace was like two wrists pulsing…
        Dm               F
To a compass that fell silent
         Am
At the sound of song

[Chorus]
         Am                      Dm
And sometimes it sailed by the wind
     Am                      F
Sometimes it sailed by the stars
     Am                         Dm
Sometimes it sailed by the captain's map
          Am                    F   G
But it always sailed her into his arms
  Am  Dm G Am
Again

[Verse 2]
            Am
There is a ship
           Dm         Am
That foundered in storms
       Am
The anchor was missing, and
      Dm
The whisky was whistling
     Dm               Am
A ditty of shame and sin

[Chorus]
         Am                      Dm
And sometimes it sailed by the wind
      Am                      F
Sometimes it sailed by the stars
     Am                         Dm
Sometimes it sailed by the captain's map
                          F         G
But it always sailed her into his arms
 Am  Dm  G Am
Again

[Verse 3]
            Am
There is a ship
             Dm            Am
It's been moored for too long
          Dm           Am
And the crew is long gone
      Am               F
The first mate took them with him
              Dm     G      Am
To seek a treasure, oh! forbidden

[Chorus]
         Am                      Dm
And sometimes it sailed by the wind
     Am                      F
Sometimes it sailed by the stars
     Am                        F
Sometimes it sailed by the captain's map
         Am               F         G
But it always sailed her into his arms

[Bridge]
         Am          Dm        G
But the birds sang over the sails
         Am          Dm        G
Yes the birds sang over the sails
         Am          Dm        G
And the birds sang over the sails
         Am        Em  F   G   Am
And the wind cried mutiny, mutiny

[Verse 4]
            Am
There is a ship
       Dm            Am
That sails in green waters
          Am                  Am
And it steers by a light of gold
          Am                     Dm
And far below, the mermen are singing
          G                 Am
To the sailors who come and go

[Chorus]
         Am                     Dm
And sometimes it sails by the wind
      Am                    F
Sometimes it sails by the stars
    Am                         Dm
Sometimes it sails by the captain's map
              Am            F        G
But it will never sail me into your arms
Am G    Am Em   Am  G  Am Em  Am G Em Am
Again,  again,  again, again, aga - a - ain
