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