Elton John - Sails: chords

Em7
I viewed in my presence
A
My hand on my forehead
Em7
And sighting the liners
Bm               Am
Of mad merchant seamen
Em7
In search of the living
D                  Am7
Or the spices of China

Lucy walked gently
Between the damp barrels
And shut out my eyes
With the width of her fingers
Said she'd guessed the number
Of bales in the back room

Chorus:
Em7
While the seagulls were screaming
A/C#     Bm C
Lucy was eating
Em7
Then we hauled up our colours
A/C#                    Bm  C
The way the mother had told us
       Am             Bm          Em
And together we just watched the sails

Lucy I said
In a passage of cotton kegs
Can we hold hands
I'm sure that it's warmer
Then the gulls ate the crumbs
Of Lucy's sandwich
