Steeples

I heard a story[F#] about a boy  who w[G]as swept off the deck[F#]                    [G]
[F#]The sweeping tide swe[G]pt the sea over his neck    [F#]       [G]         [F#]
(Repeat chord sequence)
But it did not end there, the boy began to swim
And dared to the sea that dared to invade him

[Bm]did you ev[F#]er wan[G]t to know m[D]e
did you ever feel like you could
it[Em]'s a silent steeple
[G]that carries us down   [Em]
it's a silent stee[F#]ple

(Back to verse riff)

But the sea wouldn't so much as reply
So the boy swore to the ships that were fated to die
Red sky at night, sailors delight
Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning

[F#]sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back

(Same chords as chorus)
We were going with the wind in our hair
And we didn't want to look back 'cause if we did
We would not care
And if we all were to die now
Well it wouldn't be that bad
'Cause that boy in the waves said
he'd give us everything
Everything he had
To go on and trace that scar,
like we did ten years before

(Solo over verse, chorus chords)

[F#]sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back
sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on....

(Verse  riff out)

That F
starts up after that little intro that I haven't learned yet.  You can jam out on it
at the end if you want.  It's really fun to solo over. **I'm tabbing this song out from
memory and I think that part is right, but I'm not entirely sure.  Try it with the
recording and see if that works.
