Patty Loveless – Ships (Guitar)

      C
So he took a Las Vegas jaunt

D
Out to the land of supply and demand

              G                D     G
Where you can get anything you want

       C 
No, he didn't believe in that stuff

D
Eddie Le Grande was a hard working man

                              G
Who just needed a little good luck

    C     
His shoes were a little worn

    G                 Em 
His hair was a little thin

      Am         C/B  
Just another old sailor

C              D            G   
Waiting on his ship to come in

              C
Who said that love was just a roll of the dice

    D
She acted real tough, said, "Once ain't enough

    G                       D        G
For me, I learned my lesson twice"

C
Dreaming a young girl's dream

         D
And that young girl was who Eddie ran into

                   G
Over by the slot machines

    C
Her face was a little pale

    G                  Em
Her dress was a little thin

        Am         C/B
Oh, but looking at her was like

C            D         G
Watching his ship come in

         C
With the quarters he meant to play

     D
They went for a bite and they talked all night

          G                        D     G
'Til they said what they needed to say

       C 
With a heart shaped honeymoon suite

    D
And somewhere tonight in the neon light

                   G
Two hearts can't be beat

         C 
And he's singing a little song

      G                 Em 
She's grinning a little grin

    Am                   C/B  
And they're holding each other

C              D         G
Watching their ship come in

    C
Her face was a little pale

    G                 Em  
His hair was a little thin

            Am        C/B
But they're two young lovers

C              D         G
Watching their ship come in

     Am           C/B
Just holding each other

C              D         G
Watching their ship come in
