Tuning:
This is more or less my first tabbed song. So suggestions are very welcome. For the
Picking rhythm and the C7 D7
E7 and F#7 you have to play some variations. just listen to the song.
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
EmIt's all thE7sus4/Gere in the goD7susspels, the E7sus4/GMagdalene girlD7sus
CE7sus4/Gomes to pay hD7suser respects, Cbut her mind iDs awhirl.
EmWhen she E7sus4/Gfinds the tomb D7susempty, the E7sus4/Gstone had been D7susrolled,
NE7sus4/Got a sign of a D7suscorpse in the dCark and the cDold.
WC7hen she reaches the door, sees an unholy sight,
TD7here's this solitary figure in a halo of light.
HE7e just carries on floating past Calvary Hill,
IF#7n an almighty hurry, aye but she might catch him still.
[Verse 2]
Em"Tell me whE7sus4/Gere are ye goD7susing Lord, aE7sus4/Gnd why in suchD7sus haste?"
"E7sus4/GNow don't hinder D7susme woman, I've noC time to waDste!
EmFor they're lE7sus4/Gaunching a D7susboat on the E7sus4/Gmorrow at D7susnoon,
AE7sus4/Gnd I have to be D7susthere before dCaybreak. D
OC7h I canna be missing, the lads'll expect me,
WD7hy else would the good Lord himself resurrect me?
FE7or nothing will stop me, I have to prevail,
TF#7hrough the teeth of this tempest, in the mouth of a gale,
EmMay the E7sus4/Gangels protecD7sust me if all E7sus4/Gelse should D7susfail,
EmWhen E7sus4/G the D7sus last E7sus4/G ship D7sussails."
[Chorus]
EmOh the rE7sus4/Goar of the cD7sushains and the E7sus4/Gcracking of tD7susimbers,
EmThe noisE7sus4/Ge at the endD7sus of the world E7sus4/Gin your ears,D7sus
EmAs a mE7sus4/Gountain of D7sussteel makes its E7sus4/Gway to the D7sussea,
EmAnd E7sus4/G the D7suslast E7sus4/G ship sD7susails..
EmIt's a E7sus4/Gstrange kind of D7susbeauty, It's E7sus4/Gcold and aD7susustere,
EmAnd whaE7sus4/Gtever it was D7susthat ye've E7sus4/Gdone to be D7sushere,
EmIt's theE7sus4/G sum of yr hD7susopes yr dE7sus4/Gespairs and yr D7susfears,
EmWhen E7sus4/G the D7sus last E7sus4/G ship D7sussails.
[Bridge]
WC7ell the first to arrive saw these signs in the east,
LD7ike that strange moving finger at Balthazar's Feast,
EmWhere theyE7sus4/G asked the aD7susdvice of some E7sus4/Gwandering D7suspriest,
E7sus4/GAnd the sad ghosts ofD7sus men whom they'd tChought long Ddeceased,
EmAnd whatE7sus4/Gever got sD7susaid, they'd be E7sus4/Gcounted at D7susleast,
EmWhen E7sus4/G the D7sus last E7sus4/G ship D7sussails.
[Chorus 2]
EmOh the rE7sus4/Goar of the cD7sushains and the E7sus4/Gcracking of tD7susimbers,
EmThe noisE7sus4/Ge at the endD7sus of the world E7sus4/Gin your ears,D7sus
EmAs a mE7sus4/Gountain of D7sussteel makes its E7sus4/Gway to the D7sussea,
EmAnd E7sus4/G the D7suslast E7sus4/G ship sD7susails..
EmAnd whatE7sus4/Gever you'd pD7susromised, whatE7sus4/Gever you've D7susdone,
EmAnd whatE7sus4/Gever the sD7sustation in lE7sus4/Gife you've beD7suscome.
EmIn the E7sus4/Gname of the D7susFather, in the E7sus4/Gname of the D7susSon,
EmAnd whatE7sus4/Gever the wD7suseave of this E7sus4/Glife that you'D7susve spun,
EmOn the E7sus4/GEarth or in D7susHeaven or E7sus4/Gunder the D7susSun,
EmWhen E7sus4/G the D7sus last E7sus4/G ship D7sussails.
[Outro]
EmOhhh E7sus4/G the D7suslast E7sus4/G ship sD7susails.
EmOhhh E7sus4/G the D7suslast E7sus4/G ship sD7susails.
