(I arranged it the best I could. If you don't know the song, it's not going
to make any sense)
D G
Follow in my wake, you've not that much at stake
D
A
For I have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters
D G
Come along let's have some fun, the hard work has been done
D A G D
We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for star---ters
Bm D
Just for starters, barometer is my soup
Bm D
I'm descended from a deckhand on a sloop
A D A D
I travel on the songlines that only dreamers see
G A
Not known for predictibility
D G
Come and follow in our wake, you've not that much at stake
D
A
For we have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters
D G
Come along let's hae some fun, it seems our work is done
D A G D
We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for star---ters
Bm D
Sail the main course, in a simple sturdy craft
Bm D
Keep it well stocked with short stories and long laughs
A D A D
Go fast enough to get there, but slow enough to see
G A
Moderation seems to be the key
A Bm
Constantly searchin, oh my eyes have seen some horizons
A Bm
And I've crossed the ocean for more than just thrills
A G
No I'm not the first, won't be the last
D A
You lust for the future but treasure the past
D G
Follow in my wake, you've not that much at stake
D
A
For I have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters
D G
Come along let's have some fun, the hard work has been done
D A G D
We'll barrel roll into the sun just for star---ters
D A G D
We'll barrel roll into the sun just for star---ters
D A G D
We'll barrel roll into the sun just for star---ters
