If I Had A Boat

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

Burn slow, burning up the back wall

Long roads, where the city meets the
 sky
Em7                          G
Most days, most days stay the sole 
same

Please stay, for this fear it will
   G
 not die

the shore

Down low, down amongst the thorn

Weeds grow, through the lilies and

 the vine

Birds play, try to find their own

Soft clay, on your feet and under

mine

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
