Chords

[Verse 1]
   G                          C         G
A boat made of paper, it set sail with me

    C                   G  D
And oh, how I've grown weary

      G                                 C         G
That boat of shame it took me, now I'm far from free

    C                   D    G
And oh, won't you stay near me?
[Chorus]
 D                Em
Hope it bloomed eternal

        C
There upon the promised land

         D             G              C              D
Will it wither now or will I feel my feet upon the sand?
[Verse 2]
      G                            C               G
This bundle that I carry is worth more to me than life

    C                   G  D
And oh, how I've grown weary

        G                             C             G
There's only me to hold her now that I'm no more a wife

    C                   D    G
And oh, won't you stay near me?
[Chorus]
 D                Em
Hope it bloomed eternal

        C
There upon the promised land

         D             G              C              D
Will it wither now or will I feel my feet upon the sand?
[Verse 3]
   G                          C                      G
An ancient land I've left behind, in ruins now lies she

    C                   G  D
And oh, how I've grown weary

G                                 C                  G
I must spell a new life now with walls to keep her free

    C                   D    G
And oh, won't you stay near me?
[Chorus]
 D                Em
Hope it bloomed eternal

        C
There upon the promised land

         D             G              C              D
Will it wither now or will I feel my feet upon the sand?
[Verse 4]
     G                            C            G
My heart is in my hand now we are on the open sea

    C                   G  D
And oh, how I've grown weary

       G                                C            G
Thank God, she won't remember this, whatever it may be

    C                   D    G
And oh, won't you stay near me?
[Last Chorus]
    D               Em
The orange sun was burning

        C
On the boat where we all stand

     D                Em
And hope it bloomed eternal

        C
There upon the promised land

         D             G              C              D
Will it wither now or will I feel my feet upon the sand?
