"The Last Ship" by Sting tabbed by Assassin_DUDE This is more or less my first tabbed song. So suggestions are very welcome. For the Picking rythm and the C7 D7 E7 and F#7 you have to play some variations. just listen to the song. Intro: Em 8x Verse1: Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus It's all there in the gospels, the Magdalene girl E7sus4/G D7sus C D Comes to pay her respects, but her mind is awhirl. Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus When she finds the tomb empty, the stone had been rolled, E7sus4/G D7sus C D Not a sign of a corpse in the dark and the cold. C7 When she reaches the door, sees an unholy sight, D7 There's this solitary figure in a halo of light. E7 He just carries on floating past Calvary Hill, F#7 In an almighty hurry, aye but she might catch him still. Verse2: Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus "Tell me where are ye going Lord, and why in such haste?" E7sus4/G D7sus C D "Now don't hinder me woman, I've no time to waste! Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus For they're launching a boat on the morrow at noon, E7sus4/G D7sus C D And I have to be there before daybreak. C7 Oh I canna be missing, the lads'll expect me, D7 Why else would the good Lord himself resurrect me? E7 For nothing will stop me, I have to prevail, F#7 Through the teeth of this tempest, in the mouth of a gale, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus May the angels protect me if all else should fail, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus When the last ship sails." Chorus: Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus Oh the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus The noise at the end of the world in your ears, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And the last ship sails.. Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus It's a strange kind of beauty, It's cold and austere, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And whatever it was that ye've done to be here, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus It's the sum of yr hopes yr despairs and yr fears, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus When the last ship sails. Bridge: C7 Well the first to arrive saw these signs in the east, D7 Like that strange moving finger at Balthazar's Feast, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus Where they asked the advice of some wandering priest, E7sus4/G D7sus C D And the sad ghosts of men whom they'd thought long deceased, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And whatever got said, they'd be counted at least, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus When the last ship sails. Chorus2: Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus Oh the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus The noise at the end of the world in your ears, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And the last ship sails.. Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And whatever you'd promised, whatever you've done, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And whatever the station in life you've become. Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus In the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And whatever the weave of this life that you've spun, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus On the Earth or in Heaven or under the Sun, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus When the last ship sails. Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus Ohhh the last ship sails. Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus Ohhh the last ship sails.
