Ships
By Patty Loveless
Capo 3
G C G C
G
Eddie had a few days comin'
C
So he took a Las Vegas jaunt
D
Out to the land of supply and demand
G D
Where you can get anything you want
G
He wasn't lookin' for true love
C
No, he didn't believe in that stuff
D
Eddie LeGrande was a hard workin' 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
Waitin' on his ship to come in
G
Lily was a two time loser
C
Who said that love was just a roll of the dice
D
She acted real tough, said once ain't enough
G D
For me I learned my lesson twice
G
But deep in her heart lived a young girl
C
Dreamin' 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 lookin' at her was like
C D G
Watchin' his ship come in
G
Well, he bought her a cup of coffee
C
With the quarters he meant to play
D
They went for a bite and they talked all night
G D
'Til they said what they needed to say
G
Then they found 'em an all night chapel
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 singin' a little song
G Em
She's grinnin' a little grin
Am C/B
And they're holdin' each other
C D G
Watchin' 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
Watchin' their ship come in
Am C/B
Just holdin' each other
C D G
Watchin' their ship come in
