All the diamonds IN this world That mean
anything to me Are
conjured up by wind and sun-light
sparkling on the sea
GUITAR BREAK
VERSE 2
I ran aground in a harbour town, lost the taste for being free
thank God, He sent some gull-chased ship to carry me to sea
Two thousand years, and half a world away
Dying trees still will grow greener when you pray
Ship comes shining Like a
crystal swam in a sky of suns His
ship comes shining
GUITAR BREAK |||| |||| |||| |||| ||||
- at this point return to beginning of bridge and start again with...
two thousand years and half a world away
dying trees still will grow greener when you pray
silver scales flash bright and fade in reeds along the shore
like a pearl in a sea of liquid jade His ship comes shining
like a crystal swan in a sky of suns, His ship comes shining
addendum: the Fsus2 in the line "conjured up by wind and sunlight" should
be Fsus2 (version 2)
hope this is clear enough
