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

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


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

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),
but that doesn't seem to be what's going on on the CD.


Any comments, corrections, etc. welcome.
