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 G Burn slow, burning up the back wall Em7 G Long roads, where the city meets the sky Em7 G Most days, most days stay the sole same Em7 G Please stay, for this fear it will not die CHORUS: C G If I had a boat, I would sail to you D Am Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true C G Once I had a dream, it died long before D Am Em Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore VERSE 2: Em7 G Down low, down amongst the thorn rows Em7 G Weeds grow, through the lilies and the vine Em7 G Birds play, try to find their own way Em7 G Soft clay, on your feet and under mine CHORUS: C G If I had a boat, I would sail to you D Am Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true C G Once I had a dream, it died long before D Am Em Em7 Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore BRIDGE: C Splitting at the seams G Heaving at the brace D Sheets all billowing Am7 The breaking of the day C Sea is not my friend G And everyone conspires D Still I choose to swim Am7 Slip beneath the tide C Once I had a dream G Once I had a hope D That was yesterday Am7 Not so long ago C This is not the end G This is just the world D Such a foolish thing Am7 Such an honest girl CHORUS: C G If I had a boat, I would sail to you D Am Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true C G Once I had a dream, it died long before D Am Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
