Wooden boat (video) (intro) (midi)

D ~ ~ D

1. A little boy and me went fishing in a wooden boat,

sitting there for hours in the cold.

Patience is a virtue till we die,

then a ripple in the water caught my eye.

G A

Sometimes we don't know what were waiting for,

D G

and that’s the time to be the first one on the dance floor.

G A

We go from green to blue to gold to black,

C - G D ~ ~

breathe deep, who knows how long this will last.

2. Only was last week I learnt to drive,

I stole my mother's keys and drove all night.

Christine never showed, it's 4 am,

I started up mum's car, drove home again. + CHORUS

D

3. One year ago I kissed my bride,

and now I wait to hear my baby's cry.

Woman showed me all that she knew then,

to cut himself down man's born again. + CHORUS

D

4. Christine died and now I'm here alone,

what I wouldn't give to be on that wooden boat.
