Barges Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Me and my brother
returned to the water
I saw [D]a pike that [C]was two feet [G]long.
Two [Em]small ma[G]gicians,
[Em]each with [G]a jam jar
[Em]Cast spells on the [G]water with
[D]hazel [G]twig [Em]wands.

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G]

[Verse 2]
Country [G]boys catch tadpoles,
dive into water
Made shy by their [D]laughter,
[C]we wandered [G]down stream
And [Em]summer rolled [G]o'er us with
[Em]no complic[G]ations
'Cept [Em]thinking [G]of [D]Mama
sometimes [G]in [Em]dreams.

[Interlude 2]
[Em]
[G]Stand

[Verse 3]
by the drawbridge,
waiting for barges
Waiting [D]around for
[C]smiles [G]from the man.
[Em]Lifting the [G]bridge [Em]whilst
watching the [G]horses[Em]
Dragging [G]the slow boats
[D]up the canal.

[Interlude 3]
[Em][G]

[Verse 4]
I do remember the times but no number
After the day,
[D]but befor[C]e eve[G]ning comes
[Em]Waiting for [G]castles [Em]and
kettles with [G]roses[Em]
Painted on [G]barges that
[D]sailed into the sun.

[Interlude 4]
[Em][G]

[Verse 5]
Oh, see the river run,
that was by man begun
Open the [D]locks,
let the [C]boats [G]sail on,
[Em]Taking their [G]castles and
[Em]kettles with[G] roses
With [Em]summers of [G]childhood
leav[D]ing smiles on the man.

[Outro 1]
[Em]
