Back Of The Moon - Ship In A Bottle
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
C Am C F (2x)
[Verse 1]
G C F C
We sat in his living room, staring at the fire
F C G
And watched as the sparks leapt from the grate, and the flames rose higher
Am F Am Em
It was hard for me to tell him, it was time for me to leave
F Em G F
He said, "I didn't go see the world, I thought that it would come to me"
[Verse 2]
G C F C
Pointing to the mantelpiece, he said, "Take that if you wish"
F C G
A dirty whisky jar that contained a wooden ship
Am F Am Em
"Your grandfather drained that bottle, and I put it to good use
F Em G F
Now it ties me to my yesterdays, I'd be better off to lose"
[Chorus]
Dm7 C F C F C
No use fighting when the wind's against the tide
Dm7 F G E7 Am
Ship your oars, stow your sails, just enjoy the ride of your life
C Em Am
Or throw yourself on the mercy of the sea
F G C
Whatever you do, son, don't waste your time like me
[Interlude]
C Am C F
[Verse 3]
G C F C
He built it back in '33, just a young boy at the time
F C G
Back when the matchstick masts appeared to tower above the Clyde
Am F Am Em
Leaving school, real ships he built, carried men and goods afar
F Em G F
To America and India, and in the '40s, to the war
