Ear & Previous Tab Transcribes on Guitar by Jason Gatewood.
The intro's music is a trance like synth/strings arrangement - I don't think
it sounds right on guitar, so the intro just shows the lyrics, not any chords.
[Intro]
Golden, golden, golden river run
To the East then drop beneath the sun
And as the moon lies low and overhead
We're lost...
Em7 D G D
Em7 G Em7
[Verse 1]
Em7 G Burn slow, burning up the back wall Em7 G Long roads, where the city meets the sky Em7 G Most days, most days stay the sole same Em7 G Please stay, for this fear it will not die
[Chorus]
C G If I had a boat, I would sail to you D Am Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true C G Once I had a dream, it died long before D Am Em Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
[Verse 2]
Em7 G Down low, down amongst the thorn rows Em7 G Weeds grow, through the lilies and the vine Em7 G Birds play, try to find their own way Em7 G Soft clay, on your feet and under mine
[Chorus]
C G If I had a boat, I would sail to you D Am Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true C G Once I had a dream, it died long before D Am Em Em7 Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
[Bridge]
C Splitting at the seams G Heaving at the brace D Sheets all billowing Am7 The breaking of the day C Sea is not my friend G And everyone conspires D Still I choose to swim Am7 Slip beneath the tide C Once I had a dream G Once I had a hope D That was yesterday Am7 Not so long ago C This is not the end G This is just the world D Such a foolish thing Am7 Such an honest girl
[Chorus]
C G If I had a boat, I would sail to you D Am Hold you in my arms, ask you to be true C G Once I had a dream, it died long before D Am Now I'm pointed north, hoping for the shore
