[N] When I see [C] songs that we did on the album like Thousands of [G] Sailing, If I Should Fall from [G#] Grace, The [G] Birmingham Six,
I think they're making these songs just live now [G#] on stage.
And I'm [Am] especially pleased for Philip with Thousands of Sailing because that's become [G#] a live favourite.

[A]
[F#m] [B] The first you killed [E] myself,
[A] Didn't work but you ran away.
Did [D] you wreck the streets or cry
[A] Were your daughters from the White House
Or were [E] they from the five [A] and dive?
[F#m] I am so sad [C#m] to hear you
[D] The best will [A] make you cry
[F#m] Did you count the months and years
Or get your [Bm] tear drops [E] quickly dry?
[A] I'm lost in the twists
Had to be on [D] a coming ship
I came here, [A] but they never even [F#m] gave me time
[E] Brought me a change of [A] life
[C#m]
Now all the time I'm just sailing
[E]
Across the West in [B] a motion
[F#m] To land where I'll be
[A] [E]
[B] I'm lost [F#m]

I'm lost in the twists
[D] Had to be on a coming ship
[A] We had time to have a go [F#m] on Broadway
[B] Like the first man on the [E] moon
I [A] had blackberry brown on the sailor's
Had [D] the record at six three
[A] I had a good end of pay and a [F#m] spot just [E] above the [A] downstream
[F#m] It's a good thing [C#] to Broadway
[D] Giving you the [A] best regards
And [F#m] I had to miss the call
To [Bm] Old Smithsley's [E] favourite place
I'll [A] be waiting for us to share a cake
I [D] don't want to miss
When [A] I get back to my old seagull
[E] I suppose I'll [A] cry
[C#m]
Now all the time I'm just sailing
[E]
Across [B] the ocean
[F#m] With a hundred other [A] options
[E] Just tickets and [B] a last good day
[A]
Lost times [F#m] with mailing
[E]
Scrambled [B] sands and oceans
[F#m]
Burrows that lay [A] like emerald seas
[E]
The lights don't go [Bm] out
The rest of us change
