WOODEN SHIPS- Crosby, Stills and Nash

If you smile at me I will understand
Because that is something

Everybody everywhere does in the same language
F6/
I can see by your coat my friend you're from the other side
There's just one thing I've got to know
F6/

F6/
Can you tell me please, who won?
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
F6/
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
F6/
Haven't got sick once
F6/
Probably keep us both alive
(2 fr.)
Wooden ships on the water, very free, and easy
(2 fr.)
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
(2 fr.)
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
Cmaj7 Bm11/
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
And it's a fair wind
Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go
