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