( Em Bm Am )
If you smile at me you know I will understand

Cause that is something everybody everywhere does

In the same language

I can see by your coat my friend that you're from the other side

There's just one thing I got to know

Can you tell me please who won

You must try some of my purple berries

I been eating them for six or seven weeks now

Haven't got sick once

Probably keep us both alive

( Em G D )
Wooden ships on the water very free and easy

Easy you know the way it's supposed to be

Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
C                  Em
Very free and easy
( Em C )
Sail away where the mornin sun goes high

Sail away where the wind blows sweet and young birds fly

Take a sister THEN by her hand
 D                                C D
Lead her far from this barren land


( Em G D )
Horror grips us as we watch you die

All we can do is echo your anguished cry and

Stare as all you human feelings die
 C
We are leaving
           Em
You don't need us


( C Em )

( Em G D )
Go and take a sister by her hand

Lead her far from this foreign land

Somewhere where we might laugh again
 C
We are leaving
           Em
You don't need us


( C Em ) D

( Em G D )
Sailing ships on the water very free and easy

Easy you know the way it's supposed to be

Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
 C
Very free
     Em
And gone
