The band was best known for using the device known as the "e-bow" to alter their guitars to sound like bagpipes.

Ships
EM
Look at him now
C GCG
Another used man
G C
Wearing the passing of his dignity
D C
With all the courage that he can
Em
He stood in the storm
C G CG
Carved out in stone
G C
He said I've worn my honesty with pride
D C
In everything I've done
G C G
So where were you when my ship went down
Em C G
Where were you when I ran aground
G C G
Where were you when I turned it around
Em C G C
Where were you when they burned me down
Em
Look at her now
C G CG
All tired and worn
G C
She never thought her life
D
Would come to be so cold or so alone
Em
She walked in the light
C G CG
Fought bondage for love
G C
She said I cast off the chains that I was born with
D
But it never was enough
CHORUS
C G
Silent souls washed upon the shores
C
Left to walk the sands
C D
Evermore, evermore
Em C G CG
Look at us now, just chasing our lives
G C
Make like the saviors of the planet
D
We're just trying to get by
Em
You may walk the line
C G CG
You may see it all through
G C
I know you cry yourself to sleep at night
D
Just wondering what to do
