The Boat Song by Jeremy Warmsley

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

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
