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:

^Em7Burn slow, burning up the^G back wall ^Em7Long roads, where the city mee^Gts the sky ^Em7Most days, most days stay the^G sole same ^Em7Please stay, for this fear it will no^Gt die

CHORUS:

If I had a ^Cboat, I would sa^Gil to you Hold you in my ^Darms, ask you t^Amo be true Once I had a ^Cdream, it died lon^Gg before Now I'm pointed ^Dnorth, hoping ^Amfor the shore ^Em

VERSE 2:

^Em7Down low, down amongst the ^Gthorn rows ^Em7Weeds grow, through the lilies and the ^Gvine ^Em7Birds play, try to find their ^Gown way ^Em7Soft clay, on your feet and under ^Gmine

CHORUS:

If I had a ^Cboat, I would sa^Gil to you Hold you in my ^Darms, ask you t^Amo be true Once I had a ^Cdream, it died lon^Gg before Now I'm pointed ^Dnorth, hoping ^Amfor the shore ^Em ^Em7

BRIDGE:

Splitting at the ^Cseams Heaving at the ^Gbrace Sheets all billo^Dwing The breaking of the ^Am7day Sea is not m^Cy friend And everyon^Ge conspires Still I cho^Dose to swim Slip beneath^Am7 the tide

Once I had a ^Cdream Once I had a ^Ghope That was yester^Dday Not so long a^Am7go This is not the ^Cend This is just the ^Gworld Such a foolish ^Dthing Such an honest ^Am7girl

CHORUS:

If I had a ^Cboat, I would sa^Gil to you Hold you in my ^Darms, ask you t^Amo be true Once I had a ^Cdream, it died lon^Gg before Now I'm pointed ^Dnorth, hoping ^Amfor the shore
