          G                C 
 When the ship runs out of ocean
         G           D
 And the vessel runs aground
 Em              C        D       G
 Land's where we know the boat is found

             G       C 
 Now there's nothing unexpected
             G           D
 About the water giving out
 Em              C        D       G
 "Land"'s not a word we have to shout
 
 Bridge:
             D                    C   G
 But there's something beside the shoreline
 G                 D
 Moving across the beachhead
 D                   C   G
 Coming up from the shipwreck
 G               D
 Making as if to say
 
 The strumming here is a little difficult to explain.  If you play off of
 this sheet, along with the recording, it should come quite easily.
 
 Chorus:
                   G                   C              G               D
       G|12-7-9-12--7h9-7-4-3-3|12-7-9-12--7h9-7-5-4-4| 
 Women & Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
                   G                   C               D               G
       G|12-7-9-12--7h9-7-4-3-3|12-7-9-12--7h9-7-2-0--| 
 Women & Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
                   G                   C              G               D
       G|12-7-9-12--7h9-7-4-3-3|12-7-9-12--7h9-7-5-4-4|
 Women & Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
                   G                   C               D               G

 Women & Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen


           D                       D
(Women and Men) Bringing with them messages of love
          G          C  G         D
And every where they go love will grow (love will grow)
           D                     D
(Women and Men) When you see the faces of the women
        G        C        D
And the men, you too will know (you will know)

           G                    C 
 Women and Men have crossed the ocean
      G            D
 They now begin to pour
 Em              C        D       G
 Out from the boat and up the shore
           G                    C 
 Two by two they enter the jungle
      G                D
 And soon they number more
 Em              C        D       G
 Three by three as well as four by four

          D                    C  G
 Soon the stream of people gets wider
 G                 D
 Then it becomes a river
 D                C  G
 River becomes an ocean
 G               D
 Carrying ships that bear

 G C G D
 Women and Men
 G C D  G 
 Women and Men
 G C G D
 Women and Men
 G C D  G 
 Women and Men
