Ships
(I. Hunter)

Intro : G#-C#M7-G#-C#

     G#          C#M7         D#         C7/E
We walked to the sea, just my father and me,
        Fm           G#/Eb        C#M7 C#
and the dogs played around on the sand.
   D#  G#           C#M7       D#          C7/E
Winter cold cut the air hangin still everywhere,
           Fm           G#/Eb          C#M7 C#/Eb  Eb
dressed in gray, did he say, ?Hold my hand??
G#7                                C#        Cm
  I said, ?Love?s easier when it?s far away.?
Bbm                            D#
  We sat and watched a distant light.

CHORUS:

C#/Eb Eb  B          D#m          E(add2) F#sus
We?re two ships that pass in the night,
         B           D#m         E(add2) F#7sus
we both smile and we say it?s alright.
            B                    D#m7         EM7
We?re still here, it?s just that we?re out of sight,
           G#m        F#          EM7 D#m/F# G#  C#M7
like those ships that pass in the ni_________ght.


          G#          C#M7            D#             C7/E
There?s a boat on the line, where the sea meets the sky,
          Fm         G#/Eb       C#M7  C#
there?s another that rides far behind.
    D# G#            C#M7        D#          C7/E
and it seems you and I are like strangers, a wide
      Fm         G#/Eb             C#M7 C#/Eb  Eb
ways apart as we drift on through time.
G#7                               C#       Cm
   He said, its harder now, we?re far away,
Bbm                          D#
   We only read you when you write.
(Repeat Chorus Except Last word)
EM7  D#m C#m7  D#m7
Ni ______ght
Em7   A    F          Am7         BbM7  C
We?re just ships that pass in the night,
        Dm7          Am7        BbM7   C
we both smile and we say it?s alright.
       A/C# F                    Am7          BbM7   C
We?re still here, it?s just that we?re out of sight,
      A    Dm         C           BbM7  C#M7
Like those ships that pass in the night.
