Wooden Ships

If you (Em7)smile at me, I will (Am7)understand 'cause that is (Em7)somethin' ev'rybody ev'rywhere does in the (Am7)same (Em7)language.

(Am7)I can see by your coat,

my friend, you're from the other side.

There's just (Em7)one thing I got to know,

can you (Am7)tell me, please, who won?

(Em7)Say, can I have some of your purple berries?

(Am7)Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now.

Haven't got sick once.

Prob'ly keep us both alive.

(Em)Wooden ships on the water (G)(A)very (D)free and easy.

(Em)Easy, you know the way it's (G)supposed (A)to (D)be.

(Em)Silver people on the shoreline, (G)let (A)us (D)be.

Talkin' 'bout (Cmaj7)very free and (Em)easy.

(Em)Horror grips us as we (G)watch (A)you (D)die.

(Em)All we can do is echo your (G)(A)anguished (D)cries,

(Em)stare as all human (G)(A)feelings (D)die.

We are (Cmaj7)leaving, you don't (Em)need us.

(Em)Go, take your sister, then (G)by (A)the (D)hand (Em)lead her away from this (G)(A)foreign (D)land,

(Em)far away, where we might (G)laugh (A)(D)again.

We are (Cmaj7)leaving, you don't (Em)need

(Em)us.

(Em7)And it's a fair (C)wind blowin' warm out of the south (Em7)over my (C)der.

Guess I'll (Em7)set a course and go.
