Chords for CROSBY + NASH : BERKELEY 1975 : WIND ON THE WATER .

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] A while ago, [Eb] I thought I was going to get out of the music business, _ _ _ _ _ and I went _ to Florida
and I got a [Bb] sailboat.
And I decided I was going to sail it here.
[Eb] _
_ And I did.
And I asked Graham to help me.
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] It was a pretty adventurous thing for him to do [Db] because he'd never been on one [Eb] before.
Five thousand miles later, he stepped off, wiped the salt out of his eyes and said, _ _ _
_ The thing I'm trying to work [Bbm] my way around to is while we were out there, we [Eb] saw and
got to know and fell in love with whales.
A lot of [Ebm] whales. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Now, if somebody [Eb] tries to tell you about whales, and they show you a picture of them being
cut up, and they say it's, you know, _ being used for nothing and they're wiping them
out and there's going to be no more whales.
Blood and gore.
_ I don't expect you to try and keep it in your mind.
It's an ugly thing.
I don't want to keep it in mind either.
I'd rather be half-cruised right [Ab] along.
If you saw [Eb] them _ where they live and the [Abm] dance that they do, _ they [B] are, _ _ honestly, I think
it would stick in your mind. _
They're as graceful and fine a creature as there is on the planet. _
And [Ebm] as fine as anything you can imagine the human spirit or _ anything else to be, they are. _ _
And I guess what I'm clumsily trying to work my way around to is that we don't think they
should perish from the face of the earth for nothing.
_ _ In any case, _ [B] Nash wrote a song, it says it better than I can say it.
_ _ It's called Wind on the Water. _

_ _ _ [B] _ _ Over the years you have been [Eb] hunted by [B] the men who claim _ [Ebm] _ _ [B] in the long run he will [Ebm] kill you.
Just to [Db] feed you let's be [Eb] _ graced.
[Ab] Put the flowers in [Eb] your vase and make the [Db] lips keep on your [Ebm] _ _ _
_ face.

_ [B] _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _

ocean following [B] _ feelings of love.
[Ebm] _
_ Now you are washed up on the shoreline.
I [Eb] can see your body [Ebm] in the light.
[Ab] It's a [Db] shame you have to [Ebm] _ die.
_ [Ab] _ Shadow [B] on the [Ebm] water, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ maybe we'll fall.
_ [B] Maybe we'll disappear.
[Gb] _
[Ebm] It's not that we don't know.
_ [B] It's just that we don't want to care.
_ [Ebm] _
Under _ _ _ _ [B] the over _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] wind of _
