Great (and easy) song from '1972', enjoy! Normal tuning, no capo!
D     C
A slaveshGip, lost at sea
A slaveship, lost at sea
And I'm dCrowning, your waters deep
I'm drowning, your waters deep
A spaceshiGp, in the country
A spaceship, in the country
And we're flyiCng, into green
We're flying, into green
And I tolDd you a thousand times 
(sold you a thousand lies)
I lovCe you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry Gme?
G
The city, there's an empty street
The city, there's an empty street
And we're dancing, to the lonely beat
We're dancing, to the lonely beat
Your building, is where we'll meet
Your building, is where we'll meet
And I'm hungry, lets get something to eat
I'm hungry, lets get something to eat
Cos I told you a thousand times 
(sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?
Your daddy, he ain't like me
Yoir daddy, he ain't like me
I'm striving, I so wanna be
I'm striving, I got to agree
One day girl, you'll be my queen
One day girl, I'll be your king
And we'll reign, in a castle supreme
We'll reign in, a castle supreme
Cos I told you a thousand times 
(sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?
Cos I told you a thousand times 
(sold you a thousand lies)
I love you, would you marry me?
I love you, would you marry me?

D C

A slaveship, lost at sea

And I'm drowning, your waters deep

I'm drowning, your waters deep

A spaceship, in the country

And we're flying, into green

We're flying, into green

And I told you a thousand times

(sold you a thousand lies)

I love you, would you marry me?

The city, there's an empty street

And we're dancing, to the lonely beat

We're dancing, to the lonely beat

Your building, is where we'll meet

And I'm hungry, lets get something to eat

I'm hungry, lets get something to eat

Cos I told you a thousand times

(sold you a thousand lies)

I love you, would you marry me?

Your daddy, he ain't like me

Yoir daddy, he ain't like me

I'm striving, I so wanna be

I'm striving, I got to agree

One day girl, you'll be my queen

One day girl, I'll be your king

And we'll reign, in a castle supreme

We'll reign in, a castle supreme

Cos I told you a thousand times

(sold you a thousand lies)

I love you, would you marry me?

Cos I told you a thousand times

(sold you a thousand lies)

I love you, would you marry me?
