Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:

D MajorD


Verse 1:

D MajorD
Baby it's been a long time, we've been sitting on drydock
      D MajorD                                       A augmentedA
And it seems like all the pathways have been blocked
A7A7
Now the tides have turned and the rewards we have earned
E minorEm                       A augmentedA
Bringing us good feeling, set our hearts a-reeling, baby

Chorus:

D MajorD          B minorBm       G+G              A augmentedA
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
D MajorD          B minorBm       G+G          A augmentedA
Our ship is sailing, yes we are moving
D MajorD          B minorBm       G+G          A augmentedA

Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping 'til we say so, hey now


Verse 2:

D MajorD
Now let's rock it steady, since a long time we've been ready
                          A augmentedA
Let nothing detract our attention
A7A7
Let's take our time 'cause I'm feeling so fine
E minorEm                     A augmentedA
When you hold me tight, everything's all right, darlin'
