A Passing Ship Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][Gsus4][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
A passing [C]ship
I have found the open [G]ocean
Give me no [C]lip
The waves roll by as I pass [G]on[Dsus4]
A sunlit [C]sea

[Verse 2]
On the first day of [G]April
[Dsus4]How fresh [C]the wind
Will you miss me when I'm gone?
[G]

[Verse 3]
How many [C]words
How many songs still unwrit[G]ten?
How many [C]ships
Of the line have come and [G]gone?

[Verse 4]
[Dsus4]In the good old days[C]
May they never be forgot[G]ten
[Dsus4]They had heav[G]y wind[Dsus4][C]
Or they had no wind at [G]all
[C][G][D][F][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]
A passing [C]ship
It is midnight on the [G]ocean
Had a real long [C]trip
I have been at sea all win[G]ter
When [Dsus4]my ship came i[Gsus4]n

[Verse 6]
[C]
I was [G]givin' [C]up the [G]ghost
[D]I think I s[Dsus4]hould be
[C]Leavin' those passing
ships alone
[G]

[Verse 7]
When the sea runs [C]high
The sea runs wild and I'm un[G]steady
And I think [C]of you
In the warmth of your home and fam[G]ily
When love [C]is true

[Verse 8]
There is no truer occupation
[G]And[Dsus4] may this gale[C]
Blow us to the ones we

[Interlude 1]
love
[G][C]
[G][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 9]
Another day, another [G]ocean
Give me no lip
[C]But stand aside as I pas[G]s on
A sunlit [C]sea
On the last day in Octo[G]ber
[Dsus4]How fresh [G]the wind

[Verse 10]
[C]
Will you miss me from now [G]on?
[Dsus4]I guess I should be[C]

[Outro 1]
Leavin' passing ships alone
[G][D][F][C]
[G]
