The Boatman

  E                                
If I could choose the life I please
      D             E
 then I would be a boatman
  E                                
On the canals and the rivers free 
   D                E
no hasty words are spoken
  D                             A
My only law is the river breeze that
 takes me to the open seas
  E                                
If I could choose the life I please
      D             E
 then I would be a boatman

[Chorus]
  E                                
If I could choose the life I please
      D             E
 then I would be a rover
  E                                
And if the roads was not for me 
     D             E
then I would choose another

  D                             A
Mountains and the valleys deep where
 I would take this weary feet
  E                                
If I could choose the life I please
      D             E
 then I would be a rover

[Verse]
Bm                      A        
But these things are so hard for 
    Bm                   A
me, I cannot choose my own destiny
 Bm                   A           
And all things that I want to see 
        E
are so unclean
  E                                
Well I wish I could choose the life
            D          E
 I please, I am not a free man
  E                            D  
Others rule my destiny but my will
          E
 is never broken

[Verse]
 Bm             A         Bm     
I know some day I will be 
           A
everything that I dreamed I'd be
 E                            
And when I've lived the life I 
          D              E
please then I will be a free man
 Bm             A         Bm     
I know some day I will be 
           A
everything that I dreamed I'd be
 E                            
And when I've lived the life I 
         D               E
please then I will be a free man
 E                            
And when I've lived the life I 
         D               E
please then I will be a free man
