 VERSE 2

I ran aground in a harbour town, lost the taste for being free
thank God, He sent some gull-chased ship to carry me to sea

Dying trees still will grow greener when you pray

Am |||| |||| |||| G ||||

GUITAR BREAK G |||| Am |||| G |||| Am |||| Am ||||

- at this point return to beginning of bridge and start again with...

two thousand years and half a world away
dying trees still will grow greener when you pray

silver scales flash bright and fade in reeds along the shore
like a pearl in a sea of liquid jade His ship comes shining
like a crystal swan in a sky of suns, His ship comes shining


addendum: the Fsus2 in the line "conjured up by wind and sunlight" should 
be Fsus2 (version 2)

hope this is clear enough
