Elton John – Sails chords

D/C    D6    Em

Em7I viewed in my presence
AMy hand on my forehead
Em7And sighting the liners
Bm                      AmOf mad merchant seamen
Em7In search of the living
D                   Am7Or 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

Em7While the seagulls were screaming
A/C#      Bm CLucy was eating
Em7Then we hauled up our colours
A/C#                     Bm  CThe way the mother had told  us
Am                Bm               EmAnd 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
