If I Had A Boat

• G

 

INTRO: 
G               Em7          G 
Golden, golden, golden river run 
G                Em7              G 
To the East then drop beneath the sun 
    G                Em7         G 
And as the moon lies low and overhead 
      (D)  Em7 
We're lost 

Em7 - D - G - D 
Em7 - G - Em7 

VERSE 1: 
Em7                      G 
Burn slow, burning up the back wall 
Em7                           G 
Long roads, where the city meets the sky 
Em7                          G 
Most days, most days stay the sole same 
Em7                                  G 
Please stay, for this fear it will not die 

 
           C               G 
If I had a boat, I would sail to you 
               D              Em 
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true 
             C                 G 
Once I had a dream, it died long before 
                D             Em          (Em) 
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore 


VERSE 2: 
Em7                        G 
Down low, down amongst the thorn rows 
Em7                                    G 
Weeds grow, through the lilies and the vine 
Em7                           G 
Birds play, try to find their own way 
Em7                               G 
Soft clay, on your feet and under mine 

 
           C               G 
If I had a boat, I would sail to you 
               D              Em 
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true 
             C                 G 
Once I had a dream, it died long before 
                D             Em          (Em7) 
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore 


BRIDGE: 
                 C 
Splitting at the seams 
               G 
Heaving at the brace 
                D 
Sheets all billowing 
                    Em7 
The breaking of the day 
            C 
Sea is not my friend 
           G 
And everyone conspires 
           D 
Still I choose to swim 
            Em7 
Slip beneath the tide 

             C 
Once I had a dream 
             G 
Once I had a hope 
               D 
That was yesterday 
             Em7 
Not so long ago 
                C 
This is not the end 
                 G 
This is just the world 
               D 
Such a foolish thing 
               Em7 
Such an honest girl 

 
           C               G 
If I had a boat, I would sail to you 
               D              Em7 
Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true 
             C                 G 
Once I had a dream, it died long before 
                D             Em7 
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
