E5                        A5 
If you smile at me I will understand 
                         E5 
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does 
       A5 
In the same language 
      E5                                         A5 
I can see by your coat my friend you're from the other side 
                 E5 
There's just one thing I've got to know, 
                A5      E5        A5 
Can you tell me please, who won 
          E5 
Say can I have some of your purple berries 
               A5              E5 
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now, 
A5 
Haven't got sick once 
                 E5           A5 
Probably keep us both alive

E5                        D5 A5  D5 
Wooden ships on the water very free and easy 
E5                       D5     A5  D5 
You know the way it's supposed to be 
E5                              D5   A5  D5 
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be 
              C5             E5 
Talking about very free and easy 
 
Jam over 
E5 > A5

E5                    D5     A5   D5 
Horror grips us as we watch you die 
E5                         D5 A5       D5 
All we can do is echo your anguished cries 
E5                 D5  A5     D5 
Stare as all human feelings die 
       C5                  E5 
We are leaving, you don't need us 
 
Jam over 
E5 > A5

E5                      D5  A5   D5 
Go take a sister, then, by the hand 
E5                      D5  A5    D5 
Lead her away from this foreign land 
E5                       D5     A5 D5 
Far away, where we might laugh a-gain 
       C5                  E5 
We are leaving, you don't need us 
 

           E5        A5 
And it's a fair wind blowing 
                E5                       A5 
Warm out of the south over my shoulder 
           E5                    A5 
Guess I'll set a course and go
