The Boat Song Tab

by Jeremy Warmsley


Tuning is altered. Each string is tuned a half step down. (Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb)


                                      
We played a while,          in the sand

                                       
'Til it rained and the floods began

                         
For forty days it was Biblical

                           
Had the idea of the building of boats


And there was




                                     
One boat for you and one boat for me

                                            
We sailed away on the never ending sea



                                             
Caught a glimpse of your     sail so wide

                                  
I tried to signal but you sailed on by

                                                 
Was it a ghost or a           trick of the light?

                                     
Or are you sleeping in the ocean tonight?


And we had




                                  
One bed for you and one bed for me

                                            
We sleep alone on the never ending sea




                                            
And if I ever see the      solid ground

                         
I know I won't be turning around

                                               
Seems so strange that I   played with you

                                                   
Now my hands are harder and my heart is true


And there was



                                  
One rule for you and one rule for me

                                         
Always alone on the never ending sea

One boat for you and one boat for me

                                            
We sailed away on the never ending sea



                                              
The rains lifted and I  saw you were near

                               
But now I'd rather go alone from here

                                                
Back to the sandbox,              back to play

                            
Still I remember the parting of the ways


And we had




                                                       
One bed for you and one bed for me

                                                    
Always alone on the deep, never ending sea
