Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Ship Song: chords

Chorus:
G                D
Come sail your ships around me,
C               G      D
and burn your bridges down
G                 D
We make a little history, baby,
C              G     D
everytime you come around
G                D
Come loose your dogs upon me,
C             G         D
and let your hair hang down
G                 D
You are a little mystery to me,
C               G      D
every time you come around

C                G          D
We talk about it all night long
C              G      D
We define our moral grounds
Em                  G
But when I crawl into your arms
C                 G        D
Everything comes tumbling down.

Chorus:
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly

Chorus:
Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
Come sail your ships around me
(Come sail your ships around me)
And burn your bridges down
(And burn your bridges down)
We make a little history, baby
(We make a little history, baby)
Every time you come around
(Every time you come around)
