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...
