Merle Haggard – The Last Boat Of The Day (Guitar)

    D
The long distance love affair,

                   Em
We just had on the phone,

A7
Left me with "Don't worry darlin',

              D
I'm on my way home."

   D
So break out the champagne,

      D7                   G
We've got good love on the mend.

              D
I know you're comin' tomorrow,

  A7                      D
I hope I can make it till then

D
I could be fishin',

                          Em
Or robbin' the sea of her shells.

   A7
Instead of here wishing for you,

                 D
And feelin' like hell.

D
Watchin' my last day

  D7                    G
Alone slowly come to an end.

              D
I know you're comin' tomorrow,

  A7                      D
I hope I can make it till then

    D    Dmaj7       G    A7
The last boat of the day,

                D
It comes and it goes.

    D   Dmaj7       G
The sun sets on the last chance,

   A7                  D
To hold you tonight, I suppose.

           D
But you'll be on the next one,

  A7                      D
I hope I can make it till then.

    D    Dmaj7       G    A7
The last boat of the day,

                D
It comes and it goes.

    D   Dmaj7       G
The sun sets on the last chance,

   A7                  D
To hold you tonight, I suppose.

           D
But you'll be on the next one,

  A7                      D
I hope I can make it till then.

       D
You'll be on the next one,

  A7                      D
I hope I can make it till then.
