Em7 Am9 F6/A
If you smile at me I will understand
Em7
Because that is something
Am9 F6/A Em7 Am9 F6/A Em7 Am9 F6/A
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
Em7 Am9 F6/A
I can see by your coat my friend you’re from the other side
Em7
There’s just one thing I’ve got to know
Am9 F6/A Em7 Am9 F6/A Em7 Am9 F6/A
Can you tell me please, who won?
Em7
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Am9 F6/A Em7
Yes, I’ve been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Am9 F6/A
Haven’t got sick once
Em7 Am9 F6/A G A D
Probably keep us both alive
E5 A5 A(2) Em11
Wooden ships on the water, very free, and easy
E5 A5 A(2) Em11
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be
E5 A5 A(2) Em11
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
Fmaj7 Em9 Cmaj7 Em9 Cmaj7 Em9 Cmaj7 Bm11/D
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
SOLO (play verse chords)
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
Cmaj7 Em9 Cmaj7 Em9 Cmaj7 Em9 Cmaj7 Em9 Cmaj7 Em9 Cmaj7 Em9 Cmaj7
Em9 Cmaj7
And it’s a fair wind
Em9 Cmaj7
Blowin’ warm out of the south over my shoulder
Em9 Cmaj7 Em9addA
Guess I’ll set a course and go
