Boatman

D(9)
Hearts were exploding around us as
               D/F#            G(9)
we drifted south down the bay.
     Bm7                 E7sus
The gray up above and gray down 
     E7
below
Em7          D/F#           A7sus A7
left us with nothing to say.
      D(9)
So we drifted along in silence
          D/F#            G(9)
till the tickle of life trickled in.
         Bm7               E7sus  
And the rhythm began in the hiss 
       E7
of the sand,
Em7          D/F#           A7sus A
we were catching fire again.

[CHORUS]
G/D  D       G        D
Oh boatman,  I am the river,
G/D       D       A7sus A   D
I am the mountain and   the sea.
G/D  D        G         D    A/C#
Oh   boatman, taker and giver,
Bm7         E7   Em7  D/F#  G(9)
Can you deliver me?
G(9)       A           D    G/D  D
I would forever run free.

[VERSE 2]
      D(9)
Yeah, we finally caught up with 
legends,
                 D/F#           G(9)
we were walking along side by side.
     Bm7                   E7sus  
We worked out a plan to go out 
     E7
hand in hand,

Em7             D/F#           
the long trail just wasn't that
A7sus A7
 wide.
    D(9)
The water around us was freezing,
        D(9)        D/F#           
we just laughed and threw ourselves
G(9)
 in.
    Bm7                       
And although we were old, the 
E7sus         E7
sting of that cold
Em7           D/F#                
pumped up the feeling, here it is 
A7sus A
again.

[CHORUS]
G/D  D       G        D
Oh boatman,  I am the river,
G/D       D       A7sus A   D
I am the mountain and   the sea.
G/D  D        G           D    A/C#
Oh   boatman, taker and giver,
Bm7         E7   Em7  D/F#  G(9)
Can you deliver me?
G(9)       A           D    G/D  D
I would forever run free.

[BRIDGE]
    A     B7      E    A
Oh, I'm a message in a bottle
A        B7         E    A/E  E
drifting along on a deep blue sea.
A        B           E   A
Waiting for some foreign shore,
A         B/E        A
ready for something to be.

[VERSE 3]
   D(9)
No longer afraid of falling,
           D/F#           G(9)
we cut the strings to the sky.
         Bm7                 
We found lever ground and we put 
E7sus         E7
ourselves down,
Em7            D/F#   A7sus A7
amazing we all didn't die.
   D(9)
We took each moment as given,
              D/F#        G(9)
by second, by second they came.
    Bm7                    
The ice and the sun and the 
 E7sus      E7
thundering guns,
Em7            D/F#   A7sus A
good God I was finally sane.

[CHORUS]
G/D  D       G        D
Oh boatman,  I am the river,
G/D       D       A7sus A   D
I am the mountain and   the sea.
G/D  D        G           D    A/C#
Oh   boatman, taker and giver,
Bm7         E7   Em7   A7sus A
Can you deliver me?
G/D  D             G        D
Oh   holy roller,  I am the river,
G/D       D       A7sus A   D
I am the mountain and   the sea.
G/D  D        G           D    A/C#
Oh   boatman, taker and giver,
Bm7         E7   Em7  D/F#  G(9)
Can you deliver me?
G(9)       A        D
I would forever run free.
