[Chorus]
E D E
If I could chose the life I please then I would be a boatman
E D E
On the canals and the rivers free no hasty words are spoken
D A
My only law is the river breeze that takes me to the open seas
E D E
If I could chose the life I please then I would be a boatman
[Chorus]
E D E
If I could chose the life I please then I would be a rover
E D E
And if the roads was not for me then I would chose another
D A
Mountains and the valleys deep where I would take this weary feet
E D E
If I could chose the life I please then I would be a rover
[Verse]
Bm A Bm A
But these things are so hard for me I cannot chose my own destiny
Bm A E
And all things that I want to see are so unclean
E D E
Well I wish I could chose the life I please, I am not a free man
E D E
Others rule my destiny but my will is never broken
[Verse]
Bm A Bm A
I know some day I will be everything that I dreamed I'd be
E D E
And when I've lived the life I please then I will be a free man
Bm A Bm A
I know some day I will be everything that I dreamed I'd be
E D E
And when I've lived the life I please then I will be a free man
E D E
And when I've lived the life I please then I will be a free man
