"The Ship Song"

by Concrete Blonde

-a Nick Cave cover

Starts out with a G strummed up and then...

G D C G D

(SW) Come sail your ships around me and burn your bridges down

G D C G D

We make a little history baby, everytime you come around

G D C G D

Come lose your thoughts upon me, and let your hair hang down

G D C G D

You are a little mystery baby, everytime you call around

C G D

We talk about it all night long

(ALL... NIGHT LONG)

C G D

And we define our moral ground

(OH...YEAH...)

Em G C G D

(*both) But when I crawl into your arms, everything, it comes tumbling down

G D C G D

Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down

G D C G D

We make a little history baby, everytime you come around

C G D C G D

(JN) Are your faces falling sad now, for you know the time is night

Em G C G D

Well I must remove your wings, and you, you must try and fly

(do the beginning [the chorus] a couple times)

*solo*

(do the beginning [the chorus} some more and play around with it)

(Johnette does some of her cool singing et al.)
