Big Country – Ships (Guitar)

                EM
Look at him now

C               GCG
Another used man

G                 C
Wearing the passing of his dignity

                            D   C
With all the courage that he can

                Em
He stood in the storm

C                 G      CG
Carved out in stone

G                     C
He said I've worn my honesty with pride

                   D C
In everything I've done

G                         C         G
So where were you when my ship went down

Em                     C        G
Where were you when I ran aground

G                     C             G
Where were you when I turned it around

Em                       C         G       C
Where were you when they burned me down

            Em
Look at her now

     C         G      CG
All tired and worn

G               C
She never thought her life

                                D
Would come to be so cold or so alone

Em
She walked in the light

       C            G    CG
Fought bondage for love

G                        C
She said I cast off the chains that I was born with

                D
But it never was enough

C                               G
Silent souls washed upon the shores

            C         
Left to walk the sands

C               D
Evermore, evermore

Em                       C        G      CG
Look at us now, just chasing our lives

G              C
Make like the saviors of the planet

                        D
We're just trying to get by

Em
You may walk the line

        C            G   CG
You may see it all through

              G             C
I know you cry yourself to sleep at night

                        D
Just wondering what to do
