Chords for Folksinger Michael Primeau "Ships" By: Tom Kimmel

[E] So, Tom Kimmel's Ships. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ All is quiet on the water
And _ _ _ _ the wind across the [A] sand _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Whispers through [B] our quarters
_ [E] _ _
[B] _ That the morning's close at [E] hand
_ _ Our _ _ _ love's in perfect order _ _
_ _ As we fold our [F#m] sails [A] in sleep
_ _ But _ the moon is falling, [E] _ starwork
And _ [B] _ we have promises [E] to keep _ _ _ _
_ We rest here while [A] we _ can
But we [B] hear the ocean calling in [E] our dreams
And we know by the [A] morning _ _
The wind will fill [E] our sails to test the _ seams
_ Our _ _ calm is on the [A] _ water
_ _ And [B] part of us would linger by [C#m] the shore
For ships are [A] safe in harbor
_ _ _ [E] _
_ But that's [B] not what ships are [E] for
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So we head for open _ waters _ _
_ _ Set a course [A] for distant _ _ _ _ _ lands
Out here there are [E] no borders _
_ _ [B] _ _ And the truth is in the [E] chants _ _ _ _ _
_ We fill our sails with purpose
_ Find _ _ _ direction [A] in the _ stars _
_ Pray _ the dark and [B] deep won't hurt us
[E] _ _ _ _
[B] And we sail with [E] open _ arms
_ _ _ _ We rest here while [A] we can _ _
But we [E] hear the ocean calling in our dreams
And we know [A] by the morning
The _ [B] wind will fill our sails to test [E] the _ seams
_ Our _ _ calm is on [A] the _ water _ _
[B] And part of us would linger by the [C#m]
shore
For [E] ships are safe [A] in harbor
_ _ [B] But _ [E] that's not what ships are [C#m] for
_ [E] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ Ships are safe [F#m] in harbor
_ _ _ [B]
But that's not what [Bm] ships are for
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
