Em


[Verse 1]
Em                                      G
This old city looks dead in the morning light
  Em                               G    G/F#
I wonder where my saviour was last night


[Chorus]
        Em
When my ship comes in to call
       A
I will throw this knife in the river
       Em
I will give my best to love
       G      G/F#             A
On the day my ship comes in to call
       G      G/F#
On the day my ship comes in to call

[Verse 2]
  Em                             G
I know my ways are cruel and unrefined
      A                                  C
But I honed my game on fools and drunken minds
    Em                                      G
For ten long years I preyed on the rabble I know
      A                                     Em
But I gave myself to the well-known devil I don’t


[Chorus]
        Em
When my ship comes in to call
       A
I will throw this knife in the river
       Em
I will give my best to love
       G      G/F#             A
On the day my ship comes in to call
       G      G/F#
On the day my ship comes in to call

[Bridge]
  Em
I gave myself to a play that wasn’t mine (When my ship comes, when my ship comes)
  Em
I played my part like a well-heeled concubine (When my ship comes, when my ship comes)


[Chorus]
        Em
When my ship comes in to call
       A
I will throw this knife in the river
       Em
I will give my best to love
       G      G/F#             A
On the day my ship comes in to call (When my ship comes, when my ship comes)

On the day my ship comes in to call

(When my ship comes, when my ship comes) into call
 Em   D  Em   G      Em   D  Em   G           Em
(When my ship comes, when my ship comes) into call
 Em   D  Em   G      Em   D  Em   G           Em
(When my ship comes, when my ship comes) into call
 Em   D  Em   G      Em   D  Em   G
(When my ship comes, when my ship comes)
