INTRO:
G               Em7          GGolden, golden, golden river run
G                Em7              GTo the East then drop beneath the sun
    G                Em7         GAnd as the moon lies low and overhead
      (D)  Em7We're lost

Em7 - D - G - D
Em7 - G - Em7...

VERSE 1:
Em7                      GBurn slow, burning up the back wall
Em7                           GLong roads, where the city meets the sky
Em7                          GMost days, most days stay the sole same
Em7                                  GPlease stay, for this fear it will not die

CHORUS:
           C               GIf I had a boat, I would sail to you
               D              EmHold you in my arms, ask you to be true
             C                 GOnce I had a dream, it died long before
                D             Em          (Em)Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore

VERSE 2:
Em7                        GDown low, down amongst the thorn rows
Em7                                    GWeeds grow, through the lilies and the vine
Em7                           GBirds play, try to find their own way
Em7                               GSoft clay, on your feet and under mine

CHORUS:
           C               GIf I had a boat, I would sail to you
               D              EmHold you in my arms, ask you to be true
             C                 GOnce I had a dream, it died long before
                D             Em          (Em7)Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore

BRIDGE:
                 CSplitting at the seams
               GHeaving at the brace
                DSheets all billowing
                    Em7The breaking of the day
            CSea is not my friend
           GAnd everyone conspires
           DStill I choose to swim
            Em7Slip beneath the tide

             COnce I had a dream
             GOnce I had a hope
               DThat was yesterday
             Em7Not so long ago
                CThis is not the end
                 GThis is just the world
               DSuch a foolish thing
               Em7Such an honest girl

CHORUS:
           C               GIf I had a boat, I would sail to you
               D              Em7Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true
             C                 GOnce I had a dream, it died long before
                D             Em7Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
