The Last Ship

Written by Sting

	  		

This is more or less my first tabbed song. So suggestions are very welcome. For the  
Picking rythm and the C7 D7 
E7 and F#7 you have to play some variations. just listen to the song. 

Intro: Em 8x 

Verse1: 


Em         E7sus4/G     D7sus      E7sus4/G      D7sus 
It's all there in the gospels, the Magdalene girl 
 E7sus4/G     D7sus        C             D 
Comes to pay her respects, but her mind is awhirl. 
Em       E7sus4/G       D7sus      E7sus4/G       D7sus 
When she finds the tomb empty, the stone had been rolled, 
 E7sus4/G       D7sus          C            D 
Not a sign of a corpse in the dark and the cold. 
 C7 
When she reaches the door, sees an unholy sight, 
 D7 
There's this solitary figure in a halo of light. 
 E7 
He just carries on floating past Calvary Hill, 
 F#7 
In an almighty hurry, aye but she might catch him still. 


Verse2: 


Em         E7sus4/G     D7sus      E7sus4/G      D7sus 
"Tell me where are ye going Lord, and why in such haste?" 
 E7sus4/G         D7sus            C          D 
"Now don't hinder me woman, I've no time to waste! 
Em           E7sus4/G   D7sus       E7sus4/G  D7sus 
For they're launching a boat on the morrow at noon, 
 E7sus4/G        D7sus         C             D 
And I have to be there before daybreak. 
 C7 
Oh I canna be missing, the lads'll expect me, 
 D7 
Why else would the good Lord himself resurrect me? 
 E7 
For nothing will stop me, I have to prevail, 
 F#7 
Through the teeth of this tempest, in the mouth of a gale, 
Em      E7sus4/G     D7sus       E7sus4/G    D7sus 
May the angels protect me if all else should fail, 
Em   E7sus4/G  D7sus   E7sus4/G     D7sus 
When   the      last     ship       sails." 


tabchorus
Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus Oh the roar of the chains and the cracking of timbers, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus The noise at the end of the world in your ears, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus As a mountain of steel makes its way to the sea, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And the last ship sails..

Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus It's a strange kind of beauty, It's cold and austere, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And whatever it was that ye've done to be here, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus It's the sum of yr hopes yr despairs and yr fears, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus When the last ship sails. Bridge: C7 Well the first to arrive saw these signs in the east, D7 Like that strange moving finger at Balthazar's Feast, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus Where they asked the advice of some wandering priest, E7sus4/G D7sus C D And the sad ghosts of men whom they'd thought long deceased, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And whatever got said, they'd be counted at least, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus When the last ship sails.

Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And whatever you'd promised, whatever you've done, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And whatever the station in life you've become. Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus In the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus And whatever the weave of this life that you've spun, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus On the Earth or in Heaven or under the Sun, Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus When the last ship sails. Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus Ohhh the last ship sails. Em E7sus4/G D7sus E7sus4/G D7sus Ohhh the last ship sails.
