Hewerdine (born Mark Hewerdine) moved to Cambridge as a child, but returned to London in his late teens, and worked in a record shop. Suffering from agoraphobia, it was not a happy time of his life, and he was fired from his job after being wrongly accused of theft.

I Remember / Ship Song (Boo Hewerdine) --------------------------------------
This is on Boo Hewerdine's second album, Ignorance. It's in Ab (capo at 1), but the following is written as though it's in G at the nut.
The bit between ^^^^^^^ and vvvvvvvvv is "The Ship Song" written by Nick Cave. The rest is written by Boo Hewerdine.
[Intro]:
GDC GD x 2
G I remember the yellow room D A face I've never seen since C A picture on the far wall GD My hands on the bars
G And I remember asking about ugliness D and I remember the sky was broken C and I remember rain GD on the other side of the road
G and I remember the colour was wrong D and I remember a dream about darkness CGD and I remember the sound of birds
CGD and I remember careless talk and I remember blood and I remember an imagined place, running, laughing
G and I remember a white cat with no tail D I remember the letter I gave to her husband CGD and I remember a terrible secret
G and I remember jumping from the 14th step D and I remember pink ribbon in grey hair CGD and I remember 7:30 1969
G and I remember standing in the hall D with strangers CGD and I remember leaving
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ GDCGD Come sail your ships around me and burn your bridges down we make a little history, baby, every time you come around Let loose your dogs upon me and let your hair hang down You are a mystery to me, every time you come around.
AmEmC Your face has fallen saddened now, you know that the time is right CG for me to let go your wings ** CGD and you, you must learn to fly
repeat "come sail your ships . . ." vvvvvvvvvvvvvv
G I remember D I remember C I remember GD leaving
GDC GD oooh oooh etc.
end on AG
All chords are standard (open) shapes.
I personally think that the third line of the bridge in the Ship Song (**, above) sounds better played the same as the first two lines (i.e. Am, Em, C), but that doesn't seem to be what's going on on the CD.
