Sails Chords by Elton John

[Start]

[Verse]
Am7 Bm Bm7 Bm Em
■   ■  ■   ■  ■ 
               Em7      A7                        Em7
I viewed in my presence ■  my hand on my forehead ■  
                 Em     Bm        Am7             Em7
And sighting the liners ■  of mad merchant seamen ■  
                        D               Am7     
In search of the living ■ or the spices of China
Em7                    A7                          Em7
■   Lucy walked gently ■  between the damp barrels ■  
                     Bm7                Am7    Em7    
And shut out my eyes ■   with the width of her fingers


[Chorus]
                              D          Am7    Am   Am7 E7     
Said she'd guessed the number ■ of bales in the back ■   ■  room
                                  A          Cmaj7  E7
While the seagulls were screaming ■ Lucy was eating ■ 
                                 Em A                    Bm7  Cmaj7
Then we hauled up our colors the ■  ■ way the mother had told us   
    Am7              Bm          Em   
And together we just watched the sails


[Inst]
Em7 A7 Em7 Bm7 Em Em7 D Dsus4
■   ■  ■   ■   ■  ■   ■ ■    
G Am7 Am Em Em7 A7 Em7 Bm
■ ■   ■  ■  ■   ■  ■   ■ 
D7 Am7 Em7 D Am7 Asus4 Bm7
■  ■   ■   ■ ■   ■     ■  


[Verse]
Em        E7                      A          Cmaj7       
While the seagulls were screaming ■ Lucy was ■     eating
E7                               A                  C    Cmaj7
Then we hauled up our colors the way the mother had told us   
    Am7              Bm          Em7  
And together we just watched the sails


[Chorus]
                 A       A7        Em7 
Lucy I said in a passage of cotton kegs
                  Bm7                    A7     Em7
Can we hold hands ■   I'm sure that it's warmer ■  
                              D    Am              E7
Then the gulls ate the crumbs ■ of Lucy's sandwich ■ 
                                  Amaj7 A        Bm7    Cmaj7
While the seagulls were screaming ■     Lucy was eating ■    
E7                              A                           C  Cmaj7
■  Then we hauled up our colors the way the mother had told us ■    
C     Am               Bm      G   Em7   Em
■ And together we just watched the sails ■
