Capo: 2
The key to this song is the capo.
This is played capoed to the 2nd fret. There may still be a few incorrect notes, but
root cords are dead on.
I'm going to refer to cords by the position you are holding your hand, not by their
name. The chord's actual name is a whole step higher.

A |-0-|
E |-2-|
B |-3-|
F#|-3-|
G (A): I'm not completly sure about how he fingers this one, I just use the bass notes
let the highs ring open. I think the High E kind of throws it off though so I don't play it.

F (G): Letting the high E string ring open is what makes the cord sound so good. Don't
play it as an F bar chord. If you can figure out how to hit the 1st fret on the B and
E strings, and let the High E ring open, then do it, but from what I can hear in the
he doesn't do it, so neither do I.

Verse 1:
CWoke up at eight, started the fire
Ghad a few drinks, we all felt inspired
Amjumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens
Fthe water was bitter cold
CLaid in the raft till it started moving
Gthe current just sang, the song was so soothing
Amwe stopped along the Fway
Amon a beach in the sun, on aF beautiful day
Chorus:
Am Our Fboats colGlide, we'd Dfeel the Fbreeze
We'd Amstay aFfloat and Gmake the Dmost of Feverything
Verse 2:
CBy noon we had swung the ropes in the woods
Gmissed all danger, snakes, and the floods
Amburnt by the rays and next to our legs,
Fthe water so bitter cold
CLunch had been saved along with the lighters
Gwet cigarettes serve us as reminders
Amnever trust a Fman with the Amfood, change of clothes, and a Fdrink in his hand
Chorus: Extended
Am Our Fboats colGlide, we'd Dfeel the Fbreeze
We'd Amstay aFfloat and Gmake the Dmost of Feverything
The Amsun would Fset, the Gstars would Dshine
the Amtrees would Fshake, we'd Gall feel Dfine
Let's Amtake the Fmoon and Gmake it Dshine for Feveryone
Bridge:
GWe laughed away the sunburn
Fas we laughed away the Cday
GWhat we lost means nothing
F-bridge
for the memories will stay...
Verse 3:
CCaught the last bus with no time to linger
Gthe driver seemed to be missing a finger
AmI turned and looked Faway to the Ambus, gravel road and a Fbeautiful day
Chorus:
Am Our Fboats colGlide, we'd Dfeel the Fbreeze
We'd Amstay aFfloat and Gmake the Dmost of Feverything
The Amsun would Fset, the Gstars would Dshine
the Amtrees would Fshake, we'd Gall feel Dfine
Let's Amtake the Fmoon and Gmake it Dshine for Feveryone
Let's Amtake the Fmoon and Gmake it Dshine for Feveryone
