 In the pretty white ships that I've been dreaming of

Getting brave enough to take you into my arms

D                    Em7                          Em7
 Does it matter that much when you're ten miles down?
       G                  A7sus4
In the light that filters down
        G            A7sus4
Into my giant yellow eye
      G               A7sus4
I can see the sails unfolding

 In the pretty white ships that I am dreaming of

Alternate version by lightmanx5

I wish to submit my version for the approval of the community. My aim was to create a version that is short enough to fit on one screen or two printed pages and highly readable. I've created a PDF here. I found some difficulty learning the song with the version above, so I made some changes, but I didn't want to change the above because it's very good! I'm not really sure how this all works, so please forgive me if I've committed any sort of faux pas.

I took careful aim in where I placed each chord. I observed that a lot of chord changes happen on the vowel rather than the consonant of some words and if you look carefully, you might notice that. The part I had the hardest time with was the placement for the chorus chords. So, I hope at least you will accept my chorus version, if nothing else. (Although, I simplified the G(2) to just G.)

Please refer to the above version for the intro tabs and chord fingerings. Once you have those down, you can use my version as a guide and even print the PDF for use on a guitar stand or even a digital device that can read PDFs.
