     WOODEN SHIPS  - Crosby, Stills and Nash
  
 
    

G A D    G A D

         Em                  Am      Am/F
If you smile at me I will understand
                 Em
Because that is something
                                  Am Am/F   Em    Am Am/F
Everybody everywhere does in the same    language
       Em                                         Am  Am/F
I can see by your coat my friend you're from the other side
         Em
There's just one thing I've got to know
         Am  Am/F            Em   Am  Am/F
Can you tell me please, who won?
 Em
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
 Am                    Am/F     Em
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
             Am     Am/F
Haven't got sick once
                   Em        Am Am/F   G  A  D
Probably keep us both alive


CHORUS:

 Em                         G  A  D
Wooden ships on the water, very free, and easy
 Em                           G     A    D  
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
  Em                            G   A  D
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
               C             Em
Talkin 'bout very free, and easy


Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don't need us


Go take a sister, then, by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us


             Em      Am Am/F
And it's a fair wind
          Em                                  Am Am/F
Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder
            Em                      Em
Guess I'll set a course and go

Am/F:  x 0 2 2 1 1
