BADFINGER
CRIMSON SHIP
EVANS/HAM
B F# G#m F#
My life was coloured, painting pictures out of tune
B F# G#
You came from nowhere in a song
B F# G#m F#
It might have been the way I laughed, he made the jokes
B F# G#
Could only show me what was wrong
C# F#
He took me flying on his crimson ship
G# B F#
He never left me his number
C# F#
He took me flying on his crimson ship
G# B F# G#
Then he was gone and I wondered
B F# G#m F#
Who put the knots on all the crosses on the hill?
B F# G#
Why did the old man wash his hands?
B F# G#m F#
Who grew the flower that was big enough to kill?
B F# G#
And blew the trumpet in the van, a-an
C# F#
He took me flying on his crimson ship
G# B F#
He never left me his number
C# F#
He took me flying on his crimson ship
G# B F# G#
Then he was gone and I wondered
B F# C# G#
Oh-oh, oh-oh
B F# G#m F#
When they were busy throwing kisses at the moon
B F# G#
B father lost his mother's son
B F# G#m F#
And though they knew the resurrection would be soon
B F# G#
The time was spent, they carried on, o-on
C# F#
He took me flying on his crimson ship
G# B F#
He never left me his number
C# F#
He took me flying on his crimson ship
G# B F# G# C#
Then he was gone and I wondered
G#
Wondered Wondered Wondered . . . . .
