Ship Song

Tom: C

C               G
Come sail your ships around me
F             C           G
And burn your bridges down.
C                G
We make a little history, baby
F              C    G
Every time you call ‘round.

C               G
Come loose your dogs upon me
F            C         G
And let your hair hang down.
C                G
You are a little mystery to me
F              C    G
Every time you call ‘round.

F                 C         G
 We talk about it all night long
F              C     G
 We define our moral grounds.
Am                C
 But when I crawl into your arms


F                 C        G
 Everything comes tumbling down.

C              G
Come sail your ships around me
F             C           G
And burn your bridges down.
C                G
We make a little history, baby
F              C     G
Every time you call ‘round.


C               G
Come loose your dogs upon me
F            C         G
And let your hair hang down.
C                G
You are a little mystery to me
F              C    G
Every time you call ‘round.


F             C   G
 Your face is sad now
F                 C       G
 For you know the time is nigh
Am              C
 When I must remove your wings
F                  C        G
 And you, you must try to fly.

C              G
Come sail your ships around me
F             C       G
And burn your bridges down.
C                G
We make a little history, baby 
F              C    G
Every time you come around. 

C               G
Come loose your dogs upon me
F                 C    G
And let your hair hang down.
C                G
You are a little mystery to me
F              C    G
Every time you call ‘round.
