Dermot Kennedy - Boston

For the ^Ewolves we fought when a ^C#mchild was brave ^ADays on a ^ESouthern strand Where we’d all pretend to be^C#m touring And ^EI’d wait all night for the ^C#msmile you’d saved Or how the ^Awind would howl Bette^Er head back now It’s a ^Awarning ^{E A}

^C#mWe were swimming out so far ^Ethis time ^{A C#m}The sun and your^E eyes were the only fire^{A C#m}Pretty intimate so far so I^{E A} Lit a holy fire^C#m

So^E we all gather our ghosts around the ^C#misland flames Oh and the^E song she throws is not one I know But it ^C#mknew me ^B For ^Ean age long lost in ^C#mtime, erased Days when they ^Ecalled our names Stories tucked away, you tel^C#ml it to me ^{E A}

^C#mWe were swimming out so ^Bfar this time^{E A C#m}The sun and your eyes were the only^B fire^{C# A C#m}Pretty intimate so far ^Bso I^{E A} Lit a holy fire^C#m

^G#mTake me back to places I fee^Al loved in^C#m Maybe failing ^Athat, take me to Boston^{C#m G#m}Strange that I’m not ^Aseeing you as often^{C#m G#m}Wandering 'round in cities I fe^Ael lost in^{C#m G#m} What if all the costs are even?

^F#mWe were swimming out ^F#so far this time ^C#m(take me to^A Boston, Boston) ^F#mThe sun and your eyes were the only fir^C#me (take me back to places I fee^Al loved in, loved in) ^F#mPretty intimate so far so I^G# (wandering 'round in ^Acities I feel lost in, lost in) ^F#m Eyes of-e-e-o-of holy fire
