SONG: Sails - Elton John/Bernie Taupin
Em
I viewed in my presence
A
My hand on my forehead
Em
And sighting the liners
Hm Am
Of mad merchant seamen
Em
In search of the living
D Am
Or the spices of China
Lucy walked gently
Between the damp barrels
And shut out my eyes
With the width of her fingers
Said she'd guessed the number
Of bales in the back room
E
While the seagulls were screaming
A A/H C
Lucy was eating
E
Then we hauled up our colours
A A/H C
The way the mother had told us
Am Hm Em
And together we just watched the sails
Lucy I said
In a passage of cotton kegs
Can we hold hands
I'm sure that it's warmer
Then the gulls ate the crumbs
Of Lucy's sandwich
