On The Deck Of A Spanish Sailing Ship

	  		
verse 1 

  Fm9                Bb7sus 
Lord, we take this journey 
   Db      C7sus   Fm11 
To find a promised land 
                    Bb7sus 
Lord, we take this journey 
    Db7    C7sus4   F5 
To find a promised land 
            Bb7       Db5 C7sus 
And we believe in your power 
      Bb7          Db5 C7sus 
We believe in your power 
   Eb9 E7/11+ Ab9 Db7      Bb7 
We believe        in your power 
        Db7 
But the end is close at hand 

Fm9                  Bb7/F 
Lord, these men are hungry 
             Bbm7      Bbm7/Eb 
There just hasn't been enough 
          AbM7              C7/9+ 
And the journey's been so rough 
    Fm9                    Bb7/F 
And, Lord, these men are hurting 
           Bbm7         Bbm7/Eb 
They implore me to go back 
           AbM7            F7sus4 
As the planks beneath them crack 

Pre-Chorus 
       Ab/Bb               Bb/C 
And I know it's my responsibility 
            Ab/Bb 
But I'm starving too 

And I hurt, I do 
       Bb/C 
And I'm lost 
      Ab/Db             Bb/D 
I believe in my responsibility 
          Ab/Eb 
But I need to see 
          C7/9+                 C7+ 
If the fruits will be worth the cost 

So I'm begging you, Lord 
          Fm7   Eb/G    Ab6 
You gotta stop, take a look 
                        Bb7 
At your children who believe in this promised land 
      Fm7      Eb/G 
Have mercy, Lord 
              Ab6                Bb7 
Stop their suffering and their woe 
 Fm7  Eb/G        Ab6 
Stop, shine your light on these children 
          Bb7               Ab7+ 
Who have faith in your guiding hand 
           Db7 
I'm just begging Lord 
              C7+              Fm9   Bb7/F 
?Cause there's no place else to go 
  Fm9                     Db13  C7+ 
I know I am unworthy, Lord 


verse 2 
 Fm9                Bb7/F 
Lord, this ship is crowded 
          Bbm7            Bbm7/Eb 
And the men are tired an worn 
    Ab2           C7/9+ 
But another baby's born 
      Fm9                Bb7/F 
And, Lord, this ship is broken 
          Bbm11              Bbm7/Eb 
And the sails are ripped and old 
        AbM7                F7sus4 
But the winds are rough and cold 

Pre-Chorus 
       Ab6/Bb             Bb6/C 
And I know it's my responsibility 
          Ab6/Bb 
When I ride the sea 
                           Bb6/C 
These men turn to me for a sign 
      Ab/Db             Bb/D 
I believe in my responsibility 
          Ab/Eb 
But I can't be sure 
          C7+/E                   
When it's time for your light to shine 

So I'm begging you, Lord 
            Fm7 
To make it stop 
Eb/G   Ab6 
Take a look at your children 
      Bb7 
Who believe in this promised land 
     Fm7     Eb/G 
Have mercy, Lord 
 Ab                     Bb7 
Give a sign to let us know 
 Fm7   Eb/G       Ab6 
Stop, shine your light on these children 
          Bb               Ab7+ 
Who have faith in your guiding hand 
            Db7 
I'm just begging, Lord 
              C7+ 
?Cause there's no place else to go 


Bridge 
 Db2              Db2/C 
Lord, save this child 
          Db2/Bb 
I am not strong enough 
         Db2/Gb 
I am not strong enough 
Db2/Bb        Db2/C 
Lord, save my soul 
       Db2/Gb 
I am unworthy 

Db2           Db2/C 
Lord, take my hand 
         Db2/Bb 
I am not strong enough 
         Db2/Gb 
I am not strong enough 
Db2/Bb        Db2/C 
Lord, take my heart 
      Db2/Gb 
I am unworthy 

 Db2          Db2/C 
Lord, give me hope 
         Db2/Bb 
I am not strong enough 
         Db2/Gb 
I am not strong enough 
Db2/Bb        Db2/C 
Lord, give me life 
     Gb11 
I am unworthy 

I am unworthy 

Final Chorus 
 Fm     Eb/G   Ab6 
Stop, take a look 

At the children, at the children 
      Bb                     Bb7 
Who believe in this promised land 
                Fm7    Eb/G 
You gotta have mercy, Lord 
      Fm7    Eb/G 
Have mercy, Lord 
  Ab                             Bb7 
Give us strength so that we can grow 

 Fm7    Eb/G      Ab6 
Stop, shine your light 
                            Bb           Ab7+  
On these children who have faith in the divine 

          Db9        C7sus 
I'm just begging, Lord 
          Db9            C7sus 
I'm just begging you, Lord 
   Db2 
I know I am unworthy 
                             N.C. 
But there's no place else to go 

   F        Dm7          Bbdim7 Gm7 
A new world calls across the ocean 
  Bbdim7  Gm7              F/C 
A new world calls across the ocean 
             Dm7              F  Eb  F 
A new world calls across the sky
