Wooden Ships
David Crosby

Em			  Am
If you smile at me I will understand
	       Em					  Am   Em	   Am
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language
      Em					 Am
I can see by your coat my friend you're from the other side
	     Em					 Am		     Em   Am	
There's just one thing I've got to know, can you tell me please, who won

Say can I have some of your purple berries
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now,
Haven't got sick once
Em		      Am   G	A    D
Probably keep us both alive

Em			       A
Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Em				  A
You know the way it's supposed to be
Em				       A
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
	      Cm7	    Em	
Talking about 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

And it's a fair wind blowing warm out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I'll set a course and go
