Chords

[Intro] B E B [Verse]
                                   Dbm
I have seen you leave the shore at sunrise

       B                      Dbm
I have felt your oars as they glide

       B                         Abm
I have poured you honey from the morning sun

          E                 Abm
Heard you call to the other side

       B                   Dbm
I have carried your voice along the wind

       B                 E
I have tumbled it on the tide

       Ebm              Dbm              E
I have lifted it as its sound grew dim

                   Abm
Swallowed it as it died
[Chorus]
        B               Dbm
You may row the boat forever

  B               E
Believing you are free

    Ebm              Dbm
You cannot cross the water

        E           B    E   B
You can only row to me
[Verse]
                         Dbm
I have seen you pause at midday

     B                   Dbm
Your hands all tired and sore

       B                   Abm
I have heard you curse yourself for a fool

         E                  Abm
That you had not progressed more

         B                   Dbm
And I've heard you curse the water

    B                    E
For keeping you from the land

Ebm         Dbm
Even as you reached for me

   E               Abm
To cool your weary hand
[Chorus]
        B               Dbm
You may row the boat forever

         B               E
There is nowhere I won't be

    Ebm              Dbm
You cannot cross the water

        E           B    E   B
You can only row to me
[Verse]
                       Dbm
I have seen you in the sunset

       B               Dbm
With a compass in your hand

       B                 Abm
I have felt you change direction

E                   Abm
Trying to reach the land

         B                Dbm
And I've seen you looking homeward

        B                    E
Ah, but sailor this water is wide

       Ebm                    Dbm       E
If you knew my voice, I would tell you

               Abm
"Lay the oars aside"
[Chorus]
           B                Dbm
For you'll turn the boat forever

     B                E
I am neither lake nor sea

    Ebm              Dbm
You cannot cross the water

        E           B
You can only row to me
[Chorus]
                        Dbm
You may row the boat forever

         B               E
There is nowhere I won't be

    Ebm              Dbm
You cannot cross the water

        E           B
You can only row to me
