Wooden Ships(Chords)

	        (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)
