Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I've wanted to do a Steve Page tab for a while, so here it is. Chorded from a live
outdoor performance at Yonge/Dundas Square (Toronto) where I zoomed right in, so
should be accurate (use Firefox if the chords don't line up). A great tune off his
album, "Page One". Enjoy!

G Am
As captain of this band of merry sailors I'm a black mark I'm a failure
D G
So before you watch me drown
G
I'm relinquishing command for something I don't understand,
Am D G
this man's about to turn his whole life upside down
D G
I set a course for a new shore
D G
It looked the same as the one before
Cm G
And I forgot what I'd been sailing for
D G
And why I thought this time would be different
G
I do most of this by feel and let go of the wheel the constellations
Am D G
Do the navigation on their own.
G
Whilst yearning for adventure, dreading censure in absentia
Am D G
I would rather be at sea than be alone
D G
I set a course for a new shore
D G
It looked the same as the one before
Cm G
And I forgot what I'd been sailing for
D G
And why I thought this time would be different

Am D G
They said there wasn't anything but fairy tales
Am D Em
I told them it was you, I told them you were everything a fairy tale could be
Am
The boat sails by
Em Am Bm
Oooo-The shore remains and so do I
D G
I swear this time will be different
Instrumental G - Am - D - G (x2)
D G
I settled here on a new shore
D G
My lips were blue and my legs were sore
Cm G
And I forget if I was pushed or I jumped overboard
D G
And after all this time, what's the difference?
Bm7 C A7
Oooo-ooooooh Oooo-aaaahhh
Instrumental (palm muted) G - Am - D (x2)

Land Ho! (Laa-and Ho!)
