The Boat Song Chords & Tabs
Tuning is altered. Each string is tuned a half step down. (Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb)
Am Am7 Am Am7
We played a while, in the sand
Dm Em
'Til it rained and the floods began
Am Am7 Am Am7
For forty days it was Biblical
Dm Em
Had the idea of the building of boats
And there was
F G
One boat for you and one boat for me
Em Am G D
We sailed away on the never ending sea
Am Am7 Am Am7
Caught a glimpse of your sail so wide
Dm Em
I tried to signal but you sailed on by
Am Am7 Am Am7
Was it a ghost or a trick of the light?
Dm Em
Or are you sleeping in the ocean tonight?
And we had
F G
One bed for you and one bed for me
Em Am G D
We sleep alone on the never ending sea
Am Am7 Am Am7
And if I ever see the solid ground
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jeremy_warmsley/the_boat_song_crd.html ]
Dm Em
I know I won't be turning around
Am Am7 Am Am7
Seems so strange that I played with you
Dm Em
Now my hands are harder and my heart is true
And there was
F G
One rule for you and one rule for me
Em Am G D
Always alone on the never ending sea
(Am, Am7, Am, Am7, Dm, Em) x2
[Aha-ah-ah-ah Ahh-ah-ah]
F G
One boat for you and one boat for me
Em Am G D
We sailed away on the never ending sea
Am Am7 Am Am7
The rains lifted and I saw you were near
Dm Em
But now I'd rather go alone from here
Am Am7 Am Am7
Back to the sandbox, back to play
Dm Em
Still I remember the parting of the ways
And we had
F G
One bed for you and one bed for me
Em Am Am7 Am Am7 Am
Always alone on the deep, never ending sea
