Chords

[INTRO:] F [VERSE 1:]

                              G
Like crippled ships that made it

          F                 C               G
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore

                                     C
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor

[VERSE 2:] Didn't feel so cold and tired Stretched out before her fire

                                   G
Rolling smokes and drinking up her wine

    F          C
And I remember candlelight

    F               C                 G
And singing 'til we could not sing no more

                                    C
Then falling warm asleep on Susan's floor

[VERSE 3:] Well, now that my song is sweeter I think I'd like to greet her

                                       G
And thank her for the favours that she gave

  F          C
A stranger I came

   F                 C           G
My head bowed in the rain to her door

                                   C
I sat and sang my songs on Susan's floor

[BRIDGE:]

       F              G
In the morning I'd go on

       F                Em   Dm C
Buying kingdoms with my songs

                             G
Knowing I'd be back in just awhile

                               C     Cadd9 F G
Warming in the sunlight of her smile

[INSTRUMENTAL:] C G F C F C G Dm7 G C Cadd9 F G [VERSE 4:]

      C
Well, lots of time and songs have passed

I catch myself just looking back

                                 G
Reliving all the wonder of those nights

       F              C
That's where I'd be today

   F          C                G
If I had only stayed one night more

                             C
Sang another song on Susan's floor

[VERSE 5:]

     F                        G
Like crippled ships that made it

          F                 C               G
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore

    Dm7              G               C
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor

[OUTRO:] F G F C F Em Dm7 C
