        Em                Am      Am/F
If you smile at me I will understand   because that is something
Em                                  Am  Am/F Em      Am Am/F
   Everybody everywhere does in the same    language
      Em                                         Am   Am/F
I can see by your coat my friend you're from the other side
            Em
There's just   one thing I've got to know
         Am            Am/F     Em   Am  Am/F
Can you tell me please,     who won?
Em
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
              Am          Am/F                   Em
Yes, I've been eating them     for six or seven weeks now
            Am            Am/F              Em        Am Am/F   G  A  D
Haven't got    sick once  probably keep us both alive


 Em                        G A   D
Wooden ships on the water, very free, and easy
Em                              G     A D  
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Em                              G  A  D
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
              C             Em
Talkin 'bout very free, and easy


Em                      G    A   D
Horror grips us as we watch you die
Em                          G  A      D
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Em                  G   A    D
Stare as all human feelings die
        C                  Em
We are leaving, you don't need us


Em                      G   A   D
Go take a sister, then, by the hand
Em                       G  A     D
Lead her away from this foreign land
Em                         G   A  D
Far away, where we might laugh again
        C                  Em
We are leaving, you don't need us


            Em       Am 
And it's a fair wind
         Am/F            Em                    Am 
Blowin' warm out of the south over my shoulder
Am/F                   Em   
Guess I'll set a course    and go
