The Boat Song

[Am]We played a while,       [Am7]   in [Am]the sand      [Am7]

[Dm]'Til it rained and the floods [Em]began

[Am]For forty days it wa[Am7]s Bib[Am]lical  [Am7]

[Dm]Had the idea of the building [Em]of boats

And there was

[F]One boat for you and one boat for me  [G]

[Em]We sailed away on the never ending[Am] sea [G]           [D]

[Am]Caught a glimpse of your     s[Am7]ail so w[Am]ide           [Am7]

[Dm]I tried to signal but you sailed on [Em]by

[Am]Was it a ghost or a     [Am7]      tr[Am]ick of the light?       [Am7]

[Dm]Or are you sleeping in the ocean tonigh[Em]t?

And we had

[F]One bed for you and one bed for me [G]

[Em]We sleep alone on the never ending[Am] sea [G]           [D]

[Am]And if I ever see the [Am7]     so[Am]lid ground          [Am7]

[Dm]I know I won't be turning a[Em]round

[Am]Seems so strange that I  [Am7] played[Am] with you             [Am7]

[Dm]Now my hands are harder and my heart is true         [Em]

And there was

[F]One rule for you and one rule for m[G]e

[Em]Always alone on the never endin[Am]g sea[G]          [D]

([Am], [Am7], [Am], [Am7], [Dm], [Em]) x2
[Aha-ah-ah-ah Ahh-ah-ah]

[F]One boat for you and one boat[G] for me

[Em]We sailed away on the never endin[Am]g sea [G]           [D]

[Am]The rains lifted and I[Am7]  saw[Am] you were near            [Am7]

[Dm]But now I'd rather go alone from [Em]here

[Am]Back to the sandbox,          [Am7]    back [Am]to play         [Am7]

[Dm]Still I remember the parting o[Em]f the ways

And we had

[F]One bed for you and one bed for me [G]

[Em]Always alone on the deep, never ending s[Am]ea    [Am7]           [Am]                [Am7]                      [Am]
