Ships In The Night Chords

(ver. 1)
Jack Bruce
Hey hey - here are the chords for Jack Bruce's masterpiece "Ships in the Night" off his 
1993 album "Something Els".

It's been tough transcribing this, but it should be pretty much spot-on!

Enjoy!



             Am                   Am/G#
Ships in the night, Searching for day
           Am/G        Am/F#
Beckoning lips, So far away
           F                  Em
Shadows adrift, Hiding from light
             Dsus2
Ships in the night


               C            G
Sometimes you feel, Then again you can't
               Am                   Em
Morning comes down, Soon after the dance
             F                   C
Time slowly drowns, Streets so unreal
            Bb       F         F  G
Needing to heal

             Am             Am/G#
Harbours of love, Shining so calm
            G                F
Far beyond pain, Outside of harm
             C              D7
Why must we move, Into the rain
  G      G   Am  Em  F  C  Bb  F    F G
Again
             Am                Am/G#
Ships in the night, Riding the waves
            Am/G           Am/F#
Yesterday slips, Into the haze
           F                   Em
Memories ripped, Sliding from sight
             Dsus2
Ships in the night

           C              G
Maybe you win, Maybe you lose
              Am                 Em
Future seems like, Just another ruse
         F             C
Sirens invite, Us to begin
              Bb     F     F G
Come right on in

             Am              Am/G#
Harbours of love, Shining so calm
            G                F
Far beyond pain, Outside of harm
             C                D7
Why must we move, Out of the sun
            E7  E
Into the rain
  F      C   G   Am   Em   F   C   Bb      A (let ring)
Again
