Tone: [A]
Verse 1:
Through the [A]days of passing years I walk
A[Dbm7]Alone with all my thoughts
[D]Softly suffocating as the
[Bm7]numbers climb [E7]
I i[A]imagine better days
Taking [Dbm7]solace in the hope of gently
[D]Conquering the vastness of the
[Bm7]Oceans where I float [E7]
Among the en[A]endless waters crashing
Sudden[Dbm7]Suddenly appears a boat
To [D]my surprise a cry for help
E[Bm7]Emerges from my thr[E7]throat
And I say
Chorus 1:
[D]Hey
I [E]hope your boat is not destroying
[Dbm7]All our friends who love to swim below [Gbm]
And they say
[D]Hey
It's [E]just a simple rowboat made for
[Dbm7]All who simply need a place to go [Gbm]
So I say
[D]Hey
I [E]hope you will take me to
A [Dbm7]destination [Db7]far away from [Gbm]home
And they say
[D]Hey
[E]Hop aboard and join us in a
[D]Journey to wher[Dbm7]wherever we may [A]go
Verse 2:
The [A]vessel found a distant shore
For[Dbm7]Forgotten and remote
We [D]mapped the maze of hidden trails and
[Bm7]Mountains capped with snow [E7]
The [A]sick are never hungry now
The [Dbm7]air is filled with sound
When [D]heavy weather comes we run to
[Bm7]Tunnels underground [E7]
I [A]found a place among the souls who
[Dbm7]Offered me a rope
[D]Thankful for the day my journey
[Bm7]Came across the boat [E7]
So if you're [A]feeling cast away and drifting
[Dbm7]Off to parts unknown
Keep [D]scanning the horizon for a
[Bm7]Vessel will be shown [E7]
And you'll say
Chorus 2:
[D]Hey
I [E]hope your boat is not destroying
[Dbm7]All our friends who love to swim below [Gbm]
And they say
[D]Hey
It's [E]just a simple rowboat made for
[Dbm7]All who simply need a place to go [Gbm]
So you say
[D]Hey
[E]I hope you will take me to
A [Dbm7]destination [Db7]far away from [Gbm]home
And they say
[D]Hey
[E]Hop aboard and join us in a
[D]Journey to wher[Dbm7]wherever we may [A]go
