Gordon Lightfoot - A Passing Ship


CAPO: 4th Fret



INTRO:: G    C/G    G    C/G   G

VERSE 1::
               C/G                    G
A passing ship, I have found the open ocean
               C/G                           G    D
Give me no lip, the waves roll by as I press on
             C/G                  G       D
A sunlit sea, on the first day in April
                   C/G                        G
How fresh the wind, will you miss me when I'm gone

VERSE 2::
               C/G                     G
How many words, how many songs still unwritten
              C/G                        G     D
How many ships of the line have come and gone
                     C/G                   G       D
In the good old days, may they never be forgotten
                   C/G                     G
They had heavy wind or they had no wind at all


INSTRUMENTAL:: G  D   F  C   G


VERSE 3::
               C/G                    G
A passing ship, it is midnight on the ocean
                     C/G                     G       D
Had a real long trip, I have been at sea all winter
                     C/G                  G      D
When my ship came in, I was giving up the ghost
                   C/G                           G
I think I should be leaving those passing ships alone


VERSE 4::
                       C/G                          G
When the sea runs high, the sea runs wild and I'm unsteady
                   C/G                             G       D
And I think of you, in the warmth of your home and family
                  C/G                    G       D
When love is true, there is no truer occupation
                  C/G                     G
And may this gale, blow us to the ones we love


VERSE 5::
            C/G      G
Another day, another ocean
               C/G                         G    D
Give me no lip, but stand aside as I press on
             C/G                   G      D
A sunlit sea, on the last day in October
                   C/G                        G     D
How fresh the wind, will you miss me from now on
                   C/G                     G
I guess I should be leaving passing ships alone
