James Vincent McMorrow - If I Had a Boat ------------------------------ Key of F Ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer. ------------------------------ INTRO:

^FGolden, golden, ^Am7golden river ^Frun ^FTo the East then ^Am7drop beneath the ^Fsun And ^Fas the moon lies ^Am7low and over^Fhead (G) Am7 We're lost

Am7 - G - F - G Am7 - F - Am7... VERSE 1:

^Am7Burn slow, burning up the^F back wall ^Am7Long roads, where the city mee^Fts the sky ^Am7Most days, most days stay the^F sole same ^Am7Please stay, for this fear it will no^Ft die

CHORUS:

If I had a ^Fboat, I would sa^Fil to you Hold you in my ^Garms, ask you t^Amo be true Once I had a ^Fdream, it died lon^Fg before G Am (Am) Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore

VERSE 2:

^Am7Down low, down amongst the ^Fthorn rows ^Am7Weeds grow, through the lilies and the ^Fvine ^Am7Birds play, try to find their ^Fown way ^Am7Soft clay, on your feet and under ^Fmine

CHORUS:

If I had a ^Fboat, I would sa^Fil to you Hold you in my ^Garms, ask you t^Amo be true Once I had a ^Fdream, it died lon^Fg before G Am (Am7) Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore

BRIDGE:

Splitting at the ^Fseams Heaving at the ^Fbrace Sheets all billo^Gwing The breaking of the ^Am7day Sea is not m^Fy friend And everyon^Fe conspires Still I cho^Gose to swim Slip beneath^Am7 the tide

Once I had a ^Fdream Once I had a ^Fhope That was yester^Gday Not so long a^Am7go This is not the ^Fend This is just the ^Fworld Such a foolish ^Gthing Such an honest ^Am7girl

CHORUS:

If I had a ^Fboat, I would sa^Fil to you Hold you in my ^Garms, ask you t^Am7o be true Once I had a ^Fdream, it died lon^Fg before Now I'm pointed ^Gnorth, hoping ^Am7for the shore
