Ships
(I. Hunter)
Intro : G#-C#M7-G#-C#
G# C#M7 D# C7/E
We walked to the sea, just my father and me,
Fm G#/Eb C#M7 C#
and the dogs played around on the sand.

Winter cold cut the air hangin still everywhere,
Fm G#/Eb C#M7 C#/Eb Eb
dressed in gray, did he say, “Hold my hand”?

I said, “Love’s easier when it’s far away.”

We sat and watched a distant light.
CHORUS:
C#/Eb Eb B D#m E(add2) F#sus
We’re two ships that pass in the night,
B D#m E(add2) F#7sus
we both smile and we say it’s alright.
B D#m7 EM7
We’re still here, it’s just that we’re out of sight,
G#m F# EM7 D#m/F# G# C#M7
like those ships that pass in the ni_________ght.
G# C#M7 D# C7/E
There’s a boat on the line, where the sea meets the sky,
Fm G#/Eb C#M7 C#
there’s another that rides far behind.
D# G# C#M7 D# C7/E
and it seems you and I are like strangers, a wide
Fm G#/Eb C#M7 C#/Eb Eb
ways apart as we drift on through time.
G#7 C# Cm
He said, its harder now, we’re far away,
Bbm D#
We only read you when you write.
