Chords for Dave Gibson "Ships That Don't Come In".mov

We and Marty were like that.
God, I would never say that about you Dave. _ _ _ _
Ernie's [Gm] just jealous.
And I said, we're gonna do this [Dm] major hit,
ships that [G] don't come in, _ _ and [B] Dave said, that's big ships, big ships that don't come in.
[D] Mr.
Dave Gibson everybody. _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ Thank you Marla.
_ _ _ I don't know if I can [F#]
afford your commission [D] on that _ intro.
_ _ _ _ I [G] pay her a lot [F] to say those nice things [D] about me.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
[G] _ [D] _ _ How about a hand for [A] everybody that's played songs here tonight?
It was great.
_ _ Just so happy everybody _ _ made it out [F#] and we appreciate y'all [F] coming.
And my buddies back there, Mr.
[D] Marble and _ [C#] Mr.
[D#] Wallen,
_ [D] _
_ _ [Fm] _ we're gonna [F] have a good time tomorrow.
We're a very [G] organized crew as you'll see.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] Aside from that, _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ they wanted me to do a song here.
So _ I'll do this one right here. _ _ _ _
[F#] And I guess one of the biggest compliments [E] I ever got on [G] this song _ was a [G#] guy named John Barry.
Y'all remember [D] John [G] Barry? _ _ _
_ John one time told me that the reason he [B] came to Nashville [E] was because [D] of this song.
_ [Am] _ _ And he [G] said he was driving in his car one day _ [F#m] and it came on the radio with Joe Diffie singing it. _ _ _
_ _ And [D] he had to pull over and [A] _ he said right then and there,
it's like, you [G] know, _ [Am] I'm sitting down here in Georgia, [D] I think [Am] he was in Georgia,
and _ [G] he said, _ [D#] I'm gonna get the hell out [D] of Dodge.
I'm going to Nashville [E] because if I _ _ don't, _ _ [D#] I'll never have another chance to [C#] do it.
And so [G] _ _ _ [A#] that song was for all the people who [G] _ don't ever get a [D#] chance to do that.
And _ [C] so I'll play it for y'all right [G] now.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ I can tell he'd had a tough life _ _ by [Dm] the way he sat and stared. _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Bm] Me, I'd come to push and shove, _ _ _ [G] so I pulled up a chair.
_ _ _ _ _ We talked of roads _ untraveled, _ _ [Dm] and talked of loves untrue,
_ _ _ [C] of strings that come _ unraveled.
_ _ [G]
We were kings and kindred [C] fools.
_ [G] _ _
_ _ [Am] And just when night had _ [Em] bottomed, _ [Am] _ [D] that old man raised his glass,
_ [A] _ _
said at [Am] least we've had our _ chances, _ _ [D] there's those who [D]
never have.
_ _ _ [C] So here's to all [A] the soldiers _ who [Gm] have [D] ever died in [E]
vain,
[Em] _ _ _ [Am] the insane locked [D] up in themselves, _ [G]
the harmless down on me.
_ [Am] _
_ [C] To those who stand [D] on empty shores [Bm] and spit _ against [C] the wind,
_ _ _ [Am] _
and those [Bm] who wait [C] _ forever _ _ for ships that don't [G] come [Am] _ [G] in.
_ _ [Am] _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He said it's only _ life's [C] solutions _ [G] _ [Dm] that bring us to this bar,
_ _ _ _ [C] to pick up [E] these [C] old crutches _ and [G] compare each other's scars. _ _
_ _ _ Things were calling hard [C] eggs, _ [Dm] hell they're hardly worth our [Am] time.
_ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] We bitch [C] about a dollar _ [G]
when [Em] _ [G] there's those without a dime.
_ _ _ And [Am] as he ordered one last round, he said, _ [D] I guess we can't complain. _
[A] _ _ _ [Am] God made life a gamble, _ [D] and we're still in the game.
_ _ _ [G]
So here's to all the soldiers _ who [G] have [D] ever died in [E] vain,
[Em] _ _ _ [Am] the insane locked up [D] in _ themselves, the harmless down [G] on me.
[A] _
_ _ [C] To those who stand [D] on empty [B] shores [Bm] and spit against [C] the wind,
[Em] _ _
[Am] and [G] those who wait [C] _ forever _ for ships [G] that don't come in. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ [Bm] Wands who [C] wait forever _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ for ships _ that [G] don't come in. _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Thank you very much, y'all.
I appreciate [N] that.
_ _ We'll see you guys tomorrow, and we'll have some fun. _
