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