Boat Of Silver Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[E] [A] [E] [A]

[VERSE 1]
There's many ships tarry in the har[E]bour
Many roads [D]wind a[A]cross the [E]hill
And many [A]roses [Em]grow on the [D]arbour [Dm]
[A]Many's the girl [E]waits for me there [A]still

[CHORUS]
For swiftly come all the tides re[E]turning
Swiftly go [D]then and [A]will not [E]stay
There is no [A]boatman [Em]can net the [D]morning [Dm]
[A]There is no boat[E]man can net the [A]day [E]

[VERSE 2]
The fish run [A]deep, oh, they run so [E]deeply
I cannot [D]find them [A]in the [E]seas
The lonely road [A]winds the [Em]hill so [D]steeply [Dm]
I'll lie me [A]down [E]there and take my [A]ease

[CHORUS]
For swiftly come all the tides re[E]turning
Swiftly go [D]then and [A]will not [E]stay
There is no [A]boatman [Em]can net the [D]morning [Dm]
[A]There is no boat[E]man can net the [A]day [E]

[VERSE 3]
The rose that [A]blooms blows its petals o[E]ver
And the thorns [D]lie a[A]long the [E]bough
The girls have [A]gone now [Em]to a different [D]lover [Dm]
They will not [A]linger[E] beside me [A]now

[CHORUS]
For swiftly come all the tides re[E]turning
Swiftly go [D]then and [A]will not [E]stay
There is no [A]boatman [Em]can net the [D]morning [Dm]
[A]There is no boat[E]man can net the [A]day [E]

[VERSE 4]
I will [A]build me a boat of [E]silver
Steer it with [D]a [A]golden [E]oar
And I will [A]row out [Em]of this sad [D]harbour [Dm]
And never [A]sail [E]back to this dark [A]shore

[CHORUS]
For swiftly come all the tides re[E]turning
Swiftly go [D]then and [A]will not [E]stay
There is no [A]boatman [Em]can net the [D]morning [Dm]
[A]There is no boat[E]man can net the [A]day
There is no boatman [Em]can net the [D]morning [Dm]
[A]There is no boat[E]man can net the [A]day
