I couldn't work out how to play the bridge part so I asked the man himself a number of years ago and this is
what he told me. Enjoy!

[Intro]
GGolden, golden, golden river Emrun
GTo the East then drop beneath the Emsun
And Gas the moon lies low and overEmhead
We're lost
[Verse 1]
EmBurn slow, burning up thGe back wall
EmLong roads, where the city meets Gthe sky
EmMost days, most days stay thGe sole same
EmPlease stay, for this fear it Gwill not die
[Chorus]
If I had a C/Gboat, I would sail to Gyou
Hold you in my Darms, ask you to be C/Gtrue
Once I had a C/Gdream, it died long Gbefore
Now I'm pointed Dnorth, hoping for the C/Gshore
[Verse 2]
EmDown low, down amongst theG thorn rows
EmWeeds grow, through the lilies and theG vine
EmBirds play, try to find their Gown way
EmSoft clay, on your feet and underG mine
[Chorus]
If I had a C/Gboat, I would sail to Gyou
Hold you in my Darms, ask you to be C/Gtrue
Once I had a C/Gdream, it died long Gbefore
Now I'm pointed Dnorth, hoping for the C/Gshore
[Bridge]
Splitting at thAme seams
Heaving at thEm*e brace
Sheets all bilG6sus/Dlowing
Breaking of thAme day
Sea is not Ammy friend
And everyone Em*conspires
Still I choose G6sus/Dto swim
Slip beneath tAmhe tide
[Prechorus]
Once I had a C/Gdream
Once I had a Ghope
That was yesterDday
Not so long C/Gago
This is not the C/Gend
This is just the Gworld
Such a foolish Dthing
Such an honest C/Ggirl
[Chorus]
If I had a C/Gboat, I would sail to Gyou
Hold you in my Darms, ask you to be C/Gtrue
Once I had a C/Gdream, it died long Gbefore
Now I'm pointed Dnorth, hoping for the C/Gshore
