INTRO: Em D (4x)
G C Am D I awoke in the dust of an autumn morning G C D Faces oil-lit and kneeling 'round the family chairs G C Am D I never knew that a heart could take such filling G C D Spaces everywhere, everywhere
CHORUS:
G C And the ship comes 'round Am D And she's waiting at the harbour G C Be prepared to get on board D Be prepared G C I never knew that the light of ages Am D Breaks away before us Em D G Sail away, sail away C Am D All the front doors opened and the men came walking G C D Suits and shoes, heads of silver and grey G C Am D It's one short road from a darkened cradle G C D To the endless light of day C D Em She walked like a bride down the aisle of her childhood Bm C D The shops, the schoolyard, the church on the hill G C Am D Where she trembled on the day she was touched and broken G C D Ah, Marie was born again
CHORUS:
G C And the ship comes 'round Am D And she's waiting at the harbour G C Be prepared to get on board D Ah, be prepared G C I never knew that the light of ages Am D Breaks away before us Em D G Sail away, sail away
INSTRUMENTAL: Em D (4x)
G C Am D All ears to the trawler band in the evenings G C D Forty grands and the spirits run wild G C Am D The storms, the drownings, the tables, the drinking G C D The sea had claimed their lives C D Em There's peat smoke rising from the village chimneys Bm C D You take your chances with the red haired girl G C Am D All the boats take their rest in the heart of the harbour G C D That night in a changing world
CHORUS:
G C And the ship comes 'round Am D And she's waiting at the harbour G C Be prepared to get on board D Be prepared G C I never knew that the light of ages Am D Breaks away before us Em D G Sail away, sail away
