G C G
A boat made of paper, it set sail with me
C G D
And oh, how I've grown weary
G C G
That boat of shame it took me, now I'm far from free
C D G
And oh, won't you stay near me?
[Chorus]
D Em
Hope it bloomed eternal
C
There upon the promised land
D G C D
Will it wither now or will I feel my feet upon the sand?
[Verse 2]
G C G
This bundle that I carry is worth more to me than life
C G D
And oh, how I've grown weary
G C G
There's only me to hold her now that I'm no more a wife
C D G
And oh, won't you stay near me?
[Chorus]
D Em
Hope it bloomed eternal
C
There upon the promised land
D G C D
Will it wither now or will I feel my feet upon the sand?
[Verse 3]
G C G
An ancient land I've left behind, in ruins now lies she
C G D
And oh, how I've grown weary
G C G
I must spell a new life now with walls to keep her free
C D G
And oh, won't you stay near me?
[Chorus]
D Em
Hope it bloomed eternal
C
There upon the promised land
D G C D
Will it wither now or will I feel my feet upon the sand?
[Verse 4]
G C G
My heart is in my hand now we are on the open sea
C G D
And oh, how I've grown weary
G C G
Thank God, she won't remember this, whatever it may be
C D G
And oh, won't you stay near me?
[Last Chorus]
D Em
The orange sun was burning
C
On the boat where we all stand
D Em
And hope it bloomed eternal
C
There upon the promised land
D G C D
Will it wither now or will I feel my feet upon the sand?
