[G] Golden, golden, golden
[G#]
To the east and drop beneath the [E] sun
And [C] as the moon lies low and overhead
[G] We'll all
[E]
[Em] [E]
[Em] run slow
[G] Right on the back wall
[Em] Homeward
Where the [G] city meets the sky
[Em] Most days, [G] most days stay the same
[Em] Least days, [F#] but [G] fear will not die
If [C] I had a boat, I [G] would sail with you
Hold you in [D] my arms, ask [C] you to be true
Once I had a dream, that died [G] a lonely fool
Now [D] I'm quite enough, I'm [C] open for the show
[Em] Down low, [G] down amongst the thorn rows
We [Em] twirl through the lilies [G] and the vines
[Em] Most ways, try [G] to fly their own way
[Em] Soft play, I can feel [G] another mind
If [C] I had a boat, I [G] would sail with you
Hold you in [D] my arms, ask [C] you to be true
Once I had a dream, that [G] died a lonely fool
Now [D] I'm quite enough, I'm open [C] for the show
Spitting [G]
[Am] at the sea, heaving [Em] at the waves
She [D] told Bill we'd, breaking [Am] of the day
She is not my friend, and [Em] everyone conspires
Still [D] I choose to swim, slip [Am] beneath the tide
[Bm] Once I [C] had a dream, once I [G] had a hope
That was [D] yesterday, not so [C] long ago
This is not the end, this is [G] just the one
Such a [D] foolish thing, such an [C] honest girl
If I had a boat, I would [G] sail with you
[D] Hold you in my arms, ask you [C] to be true
Once I had a dream, that died [G] a lonely fool
Now I'm [D] quite enough, I'm open [C] for the show
