Chords for A Passing Ship - Gordon Lightfoot. Video by Bob Perkins

_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ A passing ship, [E] I have found the [B] open ocean
_ _ Give me no lip, _ the waves roll by as I press on _
_ [F#] A sunlit sea, _ [E] on the first [B] day in April
_ _ [F#] How fresh the wind, [E] _ will you miss me [B] when I'm gone? _ _
_ _ _ _ How many words, [E] _ how many songs [B] still unwritten _ _
How many ships, _ [E] up the line have come [B] and gone
_ _ [F#] In the good old days, [E] may they never be [B] forgotten _ _ _
[F#] They had heavy wind, [E] oh they had no [B] window _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A [F#] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ passing ship, _ it has been mad on the ocean
_ _ Had a real long trip, _ I have been at sea all winter _ _
[F#] When my ship came in, _ [E] I was giving up [B] the ghost
_ _ [F#] I think I should be, [E] leaving those passing [B] ships alone _ _ _
_ _ _ _ When the sea runs high, _
[E] the sea runs [B] wild and I'm unsteady _ _
I'm here to think of you, _ [E] and the warmth of your home [B] and family
_ _ _ [F#] When love is true, _ [E] there is no true [B] occupation _ _ _
[F#] And may this gale, [E] move us to the ones we [B] love _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [E] Another day, another ocean, _ _ give me no lip
The sand is sad as I [B] press on
_ _ _ [F#] A sunlit sea, _
[E] _ on the last day [B] in October _ _ _
[F#] How fresh the wind, _ will you miss me from [B] now on? _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] I guess I should be, [E] _ leaving passing ships [B] alone _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _
