Barry Manilow – Ships (Ukulele)

     G            Em          D          B7
We walked to the sea, just my father and me,

        Em           D             C
and the dogs played around on the sand.

        G          Em           D          B7
Winter cold cut the air hangin still everywhere,

            Em          D       C       D
dressed in gray, did he say, “Hold my hand” ?

G                         G7                     C           
I said, “Love’s easier when it’s far away.”

Am                    C        D
We sat and watched a distant light.

            Bb       Dm          D#     F
We’re two ships that pass in the night,

         Bb          Dm         D#    F
we both smile and we say it’s alright.

             Bb                   Dm             D#  
We’re still here, it’s just that we’re out of sight,

            Bb         F           D#     F    
like those ships that pass in the ni.....ght.

           G          Em               D            B7
There’s a boat on the line, where the sea meets the sky,

           Em         D           C
there’s another that rides far behind.

          G          Em           D           B7
and it seems you and I are like strangers, a wide

       Em         D                 C   D
ways apart as we drift on through time.

G               G7                  C           
He said, its harder now, we’re far away,

Am       C             D
we only read you when you write.
