If I Had a Boat Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Golden, golden, golden river run
To the East then drop beneath the sun
And as the moon lies [C]low
[Em]and over[C]head[Em]
We're lost

[Verse 2]
[E]Burn[Em][E][Em]
slow,
burning [G]up the back wall
[Em]Long roads, where the city meets the s[G]ky
[Em]Most days, most days stay
[G]the sole [Em]same
Please stay, for this fear [Am]it will [G]not die

[Verse 3]
If I had [C]a boat, I would sail [G]to you
Hold you in my [D]arms, ask you to [C]be true
Once I had a dream, it died long [G]before
Now I'm pointed [D]north,
hoping for [C]the shore

[Verse 4]
[Em]Down low, down amongst the t[G]horn rows
[Em]Weeds grow,
through the lilies and [G]the vine
[Em]Birds play, try to find thei[G]r own way
[Em]Soft clay, on your feet and under mine[G]

[Verse 5]
If I had a [C]boat, I would [G]sail to you
Hold you in my [D]arms, ask you to [C]be true
Once I had a dream, it died long [G]before
Now I'm pointed [D]north,
hoping for [C]the shore

[Verse 6]
Splitting at [Am]the seams
Heaving [Em]at t[Am]he brace[Em]
Sheets all billowing
Breaking [Am]of the day
Sea is not my friend
[Em]And everyone conspires
Still I choose to swim
Slip [Am]beneath the tide
Once [D]I had

[Verse 7]
[C]a dream,
once I had [G]a hope
That was yester[D]day, not so long [C]ago
This is not the end, this is just [G]the world
Such a foolish [D]thing, such an hon[C]est girl

[Verse 8]
If I had [C]a boat, I would sail [G]to you
Hold you in [D]my arms, ask you to [C]be true
Once I had a dream, it died [D]long [G]before
Now [D]I'm pointed north,
hoping [C]for the shore
