   G        
My body's an ark 
    C           G 
I'm lost to the sea 
G 
I look to the stars 
       C           G 
As the waves cover me 

       C                   G 
It's a beautiful night to behold 
        Em                       G 
The most beautiful I've ever known 

C 
Ships in the rain 
     G 
I'll see you again 
Em 
Ships in the rain 
     G 
I'll see you again 

G 
Their whistles are blowin' 
        C           G 
They're looking for me 
G 
Like an orchestra playin' 
     C           G 
As I sink to the deep 

         C                      G 
But this cold, black ocean will know 
          Em                    C 
That this sailor will never come home 

C 
Ships in the rain 
     G 
I'll see you again 
Em 
Ships in the rain 
     G 
I'll see you again 


  C 
Ships in the rain 
     G 
I'll see you again 
Em 
Ships in the rain 
     G 
'Til we meet again 

(Outro: G C)
