[Intro] D A G Em Am7 [Verse]
Em                        Am7       Fmaj7
        If you smile at me I will understand

Em                                                     Am7  Fmaj7 Em
Cause that is something everybody everwhere does in the same language

Em                                              Am7   Fmaj7
I can see by you coat my friend you're from the other side

Em                                              Am7     Fmaj7
There's just one thing I've got to know can you tell me please

Em        Am7
Who won?

Em
Hey can I have some of your purple berries

Am7                           Em
Yes I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now

            Am7       Fmaj7             Em          Am7
Haven't got sick once, probably keep us both alive
[Chorus]
D A G   Em                        G  A D
        Wooden ships on the water very free

    Em                            G     A  D
And easy you know the way it's supposed to be

Em                             G   A  D
Silver people on the shoreline let us be

              Cmaj7         Em7    Am7 Em Am7
Talkin' `bout very free and easy

D A G   Em                    G     A   D       
        Horror grips us as we watch you die

    Em                         G A       D
And all we can do is echo your anguished cry

Em                 G  A     D
Stare as all human feelings die

       Cmaj7             Em7     Am7 Em Am7
We are leaving you don't need us

D A G   Em                    G  A   D
        Go take a sister then by the hand

    Em                      G  A    D
And lead her away from this foreign land

Em                      G     A D
Far away where we might laugh again

       Cmaj7             Em7   Am7
We are leaving you don't need 

          Em7        Am7
You don't need us
