The Ship Song Chords

"The Ship Song"
Concrete Blonde
a Nick Cave cover
 
        Starts out with a G strummed up and then...
 
         G               D              C               G      D
(SW)    Come sail your ships around me and burn your bridges down
        G                 D             C              G     D
        We make a little history baby, every time you come around
         G                D               C            G         D
        Come lose your thoughts upon me, and let your hair hang down
         G                 D             C             G       D
        You are a little mystery baby, every time you call around
         C                G          D
        We talk about it all night long
                                (ALL... NIGHT LONG)
         C                 G      D
        And we define our moral ground
                             (OH...YEAH...)
 
         Em               G                C                    G       D
(*both) But when I crawl into your arms, everything, it comes tumbling down
 
         G              D                C              G       D
        Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down
         G                 D            C              G     D
        We make a little history baby, every time you come around
 
        C                        G   D   C                 G       D
(JN)    Oh, your face is falling sad now, for you know the time is nigh
        Em             G                     C            G       D
        Well, I must remove your wings, and you, you must try and fly
 
        (do the beginning (the chorus) a couple times)
 
        *solo*
 
        (do the beginning (the chorus) some more and play around with it)
        (Johnette does some of her cool singing et al.)
