  "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.)
