James Vincent McMorrow - If I Had a Boat
------------------------------
Key of G
Ear & Previous Tab Transcribes on Guitar by Jason Gatewood.

The intro's music is a trance like synth/strings arrangement - I don't think
it sounds right on guitar, so the intro just shows the lyrics, not any chords.
==============================
INTRO:
                         
Golden, golden, golden river run
                             
To the East then drop beneath the sun
   
And as the moon lies low and overhead
      
We're lost...

Em7 - D - G - D
Em7 - G - Em7...

VERSE 1:
Em7                      GBurn (320003@1)slow, burning up the back wall
Em7                           GLong (320003@1)roads, where the city meets the sky
Em7                          GMost (320003@1)days, most days stay the sole same
Em7                                  GPlease (320003@1)stay, for this fear it will not die

CHORUS:
           C (x32010@1)             GIf (320003@1)I had a boat, I would sail to you
               D (xx0232@1)            AmHold (x02210@1)you in my arms, ask you to be true
             C (x32010@1)               GOnce (320003@1)I had a dream, it died long before
                D (xx0232@1)           Am (x02210@1)            EmNow (022000@1)I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore

VERSE 2:
Em7                        GDown (320003@1)low, down amongst the thorn rows
Em7                                    GWeeds (320003@1)grow, through the lilies and the vine
Em7                           GBirds (320003@1)play, try to find their own way
Em7                               GSoft (320003@1)clay, on your feet and under mine

CHORUS:
           C (x32010@1)             GIf (320003@1)I had a boat, I would sail to you
               D (xx0232@1)            AmHold (x02210@1)you in my arms, ask you to be true
             C (x32010@1)               GOnce (320003@1)I had a dream, it died long before
                D (xx0232@1)           Am (x02210@1)            Em (022000@1)   Em7
Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore

BRIDGE:
                 CSplitting (x32010@1)at the seams
               GHeaving (320003@1)at the brace
                DSheets (xx0232@1)all billowing
                    Am7The (x02010@1)breaking of the day
            CSea (x32010@1)is not my friend
           GAnd (320003@1)everyone conspires
           DStill (xx0232@1)I choose to swim
            Am7Slip (x02010@1)beneath the tide

COnce (x32010@1)I had a dream
             GOnce (320003@1)I had a hope
               DThat (xx0232@1)was yesterday
             Am7Not (x02010@1)so long ago
                CThis (x32010@1)is not the end
                 GThis (320003@1)is just the world
               DSuch (xx0232@1)a foolish thing
               Am7Such (x02010@1)an honest girl

CHORUS:
           C (x32010@1)             GIf (320003@1)I had a boat, I would sail to you
               D (xx0232@1)            AmHold (x02210@1)you in my arms, ask you to be true
             C (x32010@1)               GOnce (320003@1)I had a dream, it died long before
                D (xx0232@1)           AmNow (x02210@1)I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
