Ship Song chords by Hewerdine Boo

Chords with lyrics

I Remember / Ship Song (Boo Hewerdine)
--------------------------------------

This is on Boo Hewerdine's second album, Ignorance. It's in AbAb (capo at 1),
but the following is written as though it's in G+G at the nut.


The bit between ^^^^^^^ and  vvvvvvvvv  is "The Ship Song" written by Nick
Cave. The rest is written by Boo Hewerdine.

end on a G+G


All chords are standard (open) shapes.

I personally think that the third line of the bridge in the Ship Song (**,
above) sounds better played the same as the first two lines (i.e. Am, Em, C majorC),
but that doesn't seem to be what's going on on the CD.


Any comments, corrections, etc. welcome.
