[Intro]
B E B
[Verse]
Dbm
I have seen you leave the shore at sunrise
B Dbm
I have felt your oars as they glide
B Abm
I have poured you honey from the morning sun
E Abm
Heard you call to the other side
B Dbm
I have carried your voice along the wind
B E
I have tumbled it on the tide
Ebm Dbm E
I have lifted it as its sound grew dim
Abm
Swallowed it as it died
[Chorus]
B Dbm
You may row the boat forever
B E
Believing you are free
Ebm Dbm
You cannot cross the water
E B E B
You can only row to me
[Verse]
Dbm
I have seen you pause at midday
B Dbm
Your hands all tired and sore
B Abm
I have heard you curse yourself for a fool
E Abm
That you had not progressed more
B Dbm
And I've heard you curse the water
B E
For keeping you from the land
Ebm Dbm
Even as you reached for me
E Abm
To cool your weary hand
[Chorus]
B Dbm
You may row the boat forever
B E
There is nowhere I won't be
Ebm Dbm
You cannot cross the water
E B E B
You can only row to me
[Verse]
Dbm
I have seen you in the sunset
B Dbm
With a compass in your hand
B Abm
I have felt you change direction
E Abm
Trying to reach the land
B Dbm
And I've seen you looking homeward
B E
Ah, but sailor this water is wide
Ebm Dbm E
If you knew my voice, I would tell you
Abm
"Lay the oars aside"
[Chorus]
B Dbm
For you'll turn the boat forever
B E
I am neither lake nor sea
Ebm Dbm
You cannot cross the water
E B
You can only row to me
[Chorus]
Dbm
You may row the boat forever
B E
There is nowhere I won't be
Ebm Dbm
You cannot cross the water
E B
You can only row to me
