_ _ [G] I always wanted to do the same. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ [G] _

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [G] always wanted _ _ _ _ to sing a song that had _ [Bb] [G] many reasons. _
I always had to choose between _ the things that I really wanted for myself and someone [Bb] else.
[G] And now I get a chance to do the song that I want to do. _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ [Gm] _ [G] Came from Wisconsin, _ fishing in a certain lake.
_ That's where [F] the man [G] went down, [F] the man who sung [Gm] this song.
[G] _ I know.
_ _ [F] I [G] fish seven days a [F] week _ [G] on this [F] lake and this what happened [G] to me one day.
[F] _ _ [G] I took my boat out [C] in the same [G] old lake and do you know what [F] happened?
My [G] boat sprung a leak [F] and I can't swim.
[G] _ And that's [F] why I want to sing this song, [Gm] the same lake. _
_ _ _ Sitting on the [B] moon, son.
_ _ I've [C] been sitting [B] on the [A] beach, oh, oh, oh.
_ [G] Watching the ship [B] roll in.
_ Better [C] watch your [Bm] way [A] for me.
_ Lord, I'm [G] just a ship [D] on the ground [E] rollin' in.
Watching [G] the tide go [E] _ away.
_ [G] Sitting on the beach, oh.
[A] _ _ _ Just a wish [G] I had, [Gb] but I'm [E] not fine.
_ _ [G] I left my home [B] in Chicago.
_ _ _ [C]
Headed for the West [A] Berlin Bay.
_ _ [G]
I have nothing [B] to live for.
[C] Lookin' like nothing's gonna [B] [A] come my way.
So [Db] I'm just [G] a ship on [D] the ground [E] rollin' in.
_ Watching the [G] tide [E] go away. _ _ _
[G] Sitting on the [A] ground rollin' in.
_ Just a [G] waste of time, but [E] I'm not fine.
Yeah, yeah.
[G] _ [D] It [C] looks like he left him on the ship.
[G] _ [D] And now [C] he's off to the neighbor's ship.
[G] _ [D] I can't [C] do what these people want [Em] me to do.
[F] So I guess I'm here [D] to stay. _ _
[G] While resting [B] on my bones. _
[C] This loneliness will [Bb] leave [A] me alone. _ _
[G] These isles are [B] miles out on their own. _
[C] Somebody [Bb] help me [A] find my home.
Lord, [G] I'm just a ship on the ground [E] rollin' in.
_ Watching [G] the tide go [Em] away.
Hey, hey.
[G] Just a waste of time, [A] but I'm not fine. _
I'm just a waste [G] of time.
[Gm] Talking [E] about the ship.
That's right [G] again.
_ [D] It looks [C] like he left him on the ship.
[G] _ [D] And now _ [C] _ he's off to the [G] neighbor's ship.
[D] I [C] can't do what everybody [Em] wants me to do.
[F] So I guess I'm here [D] to stay. _ _ _
[G] While resting [B] on my bones. _
[C] This loneliness will leave [A] me alone. _ _ _
[G] _ These isles [B] are miles out on their own.
[C] Somebody help me [A] find my home.
Lord, [G] I'm just [D] a ship [E] on the ground rollin' in.
_ Watching the [G] tide _ [Em] go away.
Hey, hey. _
[G] _ Just a [A] waste _ _ [C] of time, _ but _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [F] _ [G] _ [Am] _ [G] I'm not fine.
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
I'm just a waste of time.
It ain't nothing but time.
I am eating.
_ _ I _ _ am eating a little more time. _
