Intro. (Electric Guitars and Organ)

Nash: If you smile at me I will understand

'cause that is something

Everybody everywhere does in the same way.

Crosby: I can see by your coat, my friend you're from the other side

There's just one thing I would like to know

Can you tell me please who won the war?

Nash: Say can I have some of your purple berries?

Crosby: Yes, I've been eating them

For six or seven weeks now I haven't got sick once

Crosby & Nash: Probably keep us both alive.             



Wooden ships on the water very free and easy

Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be

Silver people on the shoreline let us be

Talkin' about very free and easy.



Instrumental (Organ)

Horror grips us as we watch you die

All we can do is echo your anguished cries

Stare as all human feelings die

We are leaving, you don't need us.



Instrumental (Organ + Electric Guitar)

Go take a sister then by the hand

Lead her out of this foreign land

Far away where we might laugh again

We are leaving, you don't need us.



Instrumental (Electric Guitar)

And it's a fair wind

Blowin' warm out of the south o'er my shoulder.

Guess I'll set a course and go.





Ending (Electric Guitars and Organ)
