Ships Of Dust Tabulatur von Marvin Payne (für Baryton)

Verse 1:
   Bm    AGmaj7
We wandered through the shipyards,

    A   Bm
through the timber and the rope,

D GF#mA
and the wise men saw the longing in our eyes.

Bm          F#m
So they made for each of us

  Bm  F#m     D      Bm
a ship of dust, with sails of trust,

A      Gmaj7Bm
and the sun behind us vanished from the skies.


Verse 2:
   Bm     A       Gmaj7
Now it's a long time since the sunset,

A   Bm
and the time we raised the sails,

D GF#mA
and the time the old shipbuilders waited for.

  Bm         F#m
There are wonders in the night;

  Bm      F#m  D  Bm
there are strange and dangerous shades of light,

A      Gmaj7     Bm
but the dawn is gonna see me on that shore.


Bridge:
E     A     D    A   Bm
Sweet stars, mark the night.

E    A              F#        BmD
Fair winds, arc the right waves over my prow--

     A
I am homeward.




Verse 3:
       Bm  AGmaj7
Wooden wheels and oaken rudders

   A    Bm
bend like grass against the sea,

D G  F#mA
and the canvas fails and falls against our hope.

     Bm             F#m
I am climbing on the mast

      Bm    F#m      D     Bm
and I see a trace of dawn at last

      A Gmaj7        Bm
and I feel a strange new feeling in the rope.

Verse 4:
Bm   A    Gmaj7
Now the sun splits the horizon

A     Bm
where I thought the beach to be,

 D  GF#mA
and the graveyard for the ships done with the sea

Bm    F#m
But I'm on a sea of glass

Bm F#m   D       Bm
and the light is more than sun can pass

AGmaj7     Bm
and the deck is turning silver under me.

End:
EA      D       A   Bm 
Sweet stars, mark my mind.

E      A       F#       BmD
Fair winds, you can find me sailing your source--

         A
I am homeward.

F#sus4F#Bm
