Runrig - The ship

I a^Gwoke in the ^Cdust of an autumn ^Ammorn^Ding Faces ^Goil-lit and kneeling^C 'round the family ^Dchairs I never ^Gknew that a ^Cheart could take such ^Amfill^Ding ^GSpaces everywhere,^C every^Dwhere

And the ^Gship comes '^Cround And she's ^Amwaiting at the ^Dharbour Be pre^Gpared to get on ^Cboard Be pre^Dpared I never ^Gknew that the ^Clight of ages ^AmBreaks away be^Dfore us Sail a^Emway,^D sail a^Gway

All the front doors opened ^Cand the men came ^Amwalk^Ding Suits and ^Gshoes, heads of ^Csilver and ^Dgrey It's one short ^Groad from a ^Cdarkened ^Amcra^Ddle To the ^Gendless light of ^Cday ^D

She walked like a ^Cbride down the ^Daisle of her ^Emchildhood The shops, the ^Bmschoolyard, the ^Cchurch on the ^Dhill Where she trembled on the ^Gday she was ^Ctouched and ^Ambro^Dken Ah, Ma^Grie was born again ^{C D}

And the ^Gship comes '^Cround And she's ^Amwaiting at the ^Dharbour Be pre^Gpared to get on ^Cboard Ah, be pre^Dpared I never ^Gknew that the ^Clight of ages ^AmBreaks away be^Dfore us Sail a^Emway,^D sail a^Gway

All ears to the ^Gtrawler ^Cband ^Amin the ^Devenings Forty ^Ggrands and the ^Cspirits run ^Dwild The storms, the ^Gdrownings, the ^Ctables, the ^Amdrink^Ding The ^Gsea had claimed their lives ^{C D}

There's peat smoke ^Crising^D from the village ^Emchimneys You take your ^Bmchances ^Cwith the red haired ^Dgirl All the boats take their ^Grest in the ^Cheart^Am of the ^Dharbour That ^Gnight in a changing ^Cworld ^D

And the ^Gship comes '^Cround And she's ^Amwaiting at the ^Dharbour Be pre^Gpared to get on ^Cboard Be pre^Dpared I never ^Gknew that the ^Clight of ages ^AmBreaks away be^Dfore us Sail a^Emway,^D sail a^Gway
