Tuning: Standard

Some of the other versions were close, but not quite right so I thought I'd contribute..
>>> Chord diagrams, as well as some of other nuances to this song, are located at the bottom of this page!

Intro: Em C G D x4

Em G G* G G*
Boathouse, coming down the river
G D Em
Boathouse, carrying my son
C G D Em
Boathouse, carrying his mother
C G D (build)
You know she's the only one

C D
Caroline, my heart is aching
Em C
But I can't quit this town
C D
Caroline, my heartless drinking
Em C
I can't quit this town
C D
So go on, wave goodbye

Interlude 1:
Em C G D x3
Em C D

Em C
Haul out, packing up his suitcase
C D
Haul out, crying like the rain
C G D Em
Haul out, screaming "this ain't living,"
C G D
And I know you're right

C D
Caroline, I've been wondering
Em C
Why you didn't pick a better man?
C D Em C
Caroline, my Mona Lisa still can't match your smile
C D
So go on, wave goodbye

Interlude 2:
Em C G D x2
Em C G D Am G** C

Em G G* G G*
Boathouse, coming down the river
G D Em
Boathouse, carrying my love
C G D Em
Boathouse, carry them to safety
C G D
Up from the Mississippi mud
C D G
For I lost my love

END

===============================================================================================================

Let me start by saying that I have no music theory training and do everything by ear. That said, the chord names
I have used below are more symbolic - I'll do my best to name them correctly. Please feel free to send me a
message with their technical names.

Watch videos of Noah playing to get a feel for his strumming/chord changes, I did my best to be very accurate in
placing the chords where they change. (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTnD2e6lkjU )

Chords Used:

Em C G G* G** D Am
e|-0-----0-----3-----3-----3----0----3-|
B|-0-----1-----0-----1-----1----3----1-|
G|-0-----0-----0-----0-----0----0----0-|
D|-2-----2-----0-----2-----0----4----2-|
A|-2-----3-----0-----0-----2----5----0-|
E|-0-----3-----3-----3-----0----5----0-|

Note 1:
Throughout the song, Noah does a lot of hammer-ons and pull-offs with the B and D strings. Especially when
he plays a C. When playing a G*, Noah almost always does so by first hammering-on the B and D strings out of a
G chord.

Note 2:
Coming out of Interlude 2 Noah exits with what I will call an Am, and does a quick jump to what I will call G**
right before moving to the C, like this (added an approximate strum pattern here to help):

D D D U D U D
Am.... G** C
e|--3-3-3--3-3-3---0-|
B|--1-1-1--1-1-1---1-|
G|--0-0-0--0-0-0---0-|
D|--2-2-2--2-2-0---2-|
A|--0-0-0--0-0-2---3-|
E|--0-0-0--0-0-0---3-|

If you're confused on this part, watch the video linked above. The section I've tabbed out begins exactly at
3:09.

Have Fun!!
