[Intro ](2x) 
G Em C D 

verse 1 
           G 
Well, the moon made your mother 
    Em 
The sun was your brother 
      C                         D 
Your son was no other than the mast or the rudder 
      G 
You never could see him 
     Em 
Or others believe him 
     C                        D 
The soil or the sea then the better the freedom 

Chorus 1 
     C                         D 
Well, you were the one that I saw 
                        B7 
When I looked for the light on the shore 
         Em 
Or the steam in the thaw 
      C                         D *  
The ship that sailed in just as I  
                  G     Em 
Was about to let go 
                  C     D 
Oh, about to let go 
              G  Em 
About to let go, oh 
      C                         D * 
The ship that sailed in just as I  

was about to let go 

G Em C D 

verse 2 
            G 
Well, the sand was your sister 
     Em 
The ocean your mistress 
       C 
The clouds lived on dreams 
          D 
That you had and your wishes 
       G 
The shells spoke for ages 
         Em 
Through torn diary pages 
         C                                    D 
And the sea life could see right through the shifting sensations 

Chorus 2 
     C                         D 
Well, you were the one that I need 
                       B7 
When I found out the prisoners were gone 
          Em  
And the ghosts were all freed 
      C                          D 
The walls that once held us all tight 
                  G     Em 
Were about to let go 
                  C    D 
Oh, about to let go,  mh 
              G  Em 
About to let go, oh 
      C                          D *  
The walls that once held us all tight  
Were about to let go 
     
G Em C D 

verse 3 
          G   
Well, the trees fell like feathers 
      Em 
And carved out like leather 
       C                      D 
They slipped to the bottom of unideal weather 
     G 
We crawled through the forest 
    Em 
The sea had then told us 
    C 
To hold all our weapons 
   D 
Until they had warned us about 

Bridge 
C                         D 
The family of stars that cover your heart 
      B7                   Em 
The blanket of moondust about to depart 
      C                            D 
The scent of your trees when you start 
                    G   Em 
To sing the truth out 

Chorus 2 
     C                         D 
And you were the one that I need 
                        B7 
When I found out the prisoners were gone 
          Em 
And the ghosts were all freed 
      C                           D                       G   Em 
The walls that once held us all tight, were about to let go 

Chorus 1 
     C                       D 
And you were the one that I saw 
                       B7 
When I looked for the light on the shore 
         Em 
Or the steam in the thaw 
      C                         D 
The ship that sailed in just as I  
                  G     Em 
Was about to let go 
                  C *     D * 
Oh, about to let go 
             G * Em * 
About to let go, oh 
      C *             G *       D * 
The ship that sailed in just as I  
                 G * 
was about to let go
