Verse 1:
         G                C
When the ship runs out of ocean

        G            D
And the vessel runs aground

Em              C        D       G
Land's where we know the boat is found

            G           C
Now there's nothing unexpected

          G            D
About the water giving out

Em             C       D       G
"Land"'s not a word we have to shout

            D                    C
But there's something beside the shoreline

G                  C
Moving up from the beachhead

D                  C
Coming up from the shipwreck

G               D
Making as if to say



Chorus:
          G  C  G  D
Women and men

          G  C  G
Women and men

          G  C  G  D
Women and men

          G  C  G 
Women and men



Bridge:
           D             
(Women and men) Bringing with them messages of love

         G          C   G         D
And everywhere they go, love will grow (love will grow)

           D
(Women and men) When you see the faces of the women

        G       C        D
And the men, you too will know (you will know)



Verse 2:
          G                    C
Women and men have crossed the ocean

     G            D
They now begin to pour

Em           C        D      G
Out from the boat and up the shore

       G                  C
Two by two they enter the jungle

    G                D
And soon they number more

Em                C       D       G
Three by three as well as four by four

         D                     C
Soon the stream of people gets wider

G                 C
Then it becomes a river

D                C
River becomes an ocean

G                   D
Carrying ships that bear



Chorus:
          G  C  G  D
Women and men

          G  C  G
Women and men

          G  C  G  D
Women and men

          G  C  G
Women and men
