Em      G G*               G     G*
Boathouse, coming down the river

Haul out, screaming "this ain't living,"

And I know you're right

C        D
Caroline, I've been wondering
Em                               C
Why you didn't pick a better man?

Up from the Mississippi mud
C     D       G
For I lost my love

===============================================================================================================

Let me start by saying that I have no music theory training and do everything by ear. That said,
 the chord names
I have used below are more symbolic - I'll do my best to name them correctly. Please feel free 
to send me a
message with their technical names.

Watch videos of Noah playing to get a feel for his strumming/chord changes, I did my best to be 
very accurate in

Chords Used:

   Em    C     G     G*    G**  D    Am
E|-0-----0-----3-----3-----3----0----3-| 
B|-0-----1-----0-----1-----1----3----1-| 
G|-0-----0-----0-----0-----0----0----0-| 
D|-2-----2-----0-----2-----0----4----2-| 
A|-2-----3-----0-----0-----2----5----0-| 
E|-0-----3-----3-----3-----0----5----0-| 

Note 1:
Throughout the song, Noah does a lot of hammer-ons and pull-offs with the B and D strings. 
Especially when
he plays a C. When playing a G*, Noah almost always does so by first hammering-on the B and D 
strings out of a
G chord.

Note 2:
Coming out of Interlude 2 Noah exits with what I will call an Am, and does a quick jump to what 
I will call G**
right before moving to the C, like this (added an approximate strum pattern here to help):

    D D D  U D U   D
    Am....     G** C
E|--3-3-3--3-3-3---0-| 
B|--1-1-1--1-1-1---1-| 
G|--0-0-0--0-0-0---0-| 
D|--2-2-2--2-2-0---2-| 
A|--0-0-0--0-0-2---3-| 
E|--0-0-0--0-0-0---3-|
