The Boatman chords by John Duffey
Intro riff G-0-1-2-0———]
D-----3-2-0-]
[Verse]
Dm - F- C HOLD
Dm G C
When your mind starts to wander beyond the distant sunset,
F G
and your fantasies set sail on a voyage through the sea,
C G Dm F
when your thoughts begin to flow just like an ocean vessel,
Dm F G
tossing too and frough in the misty sea breeze,
Dm F C
do you ever think of me as your boatman?
Dm G C
And when life leaves you stranded on an uncharted island,
F G
and troubles start to swim like breakers on the shore,
C G Dm F
and you stare at the tide and long to be rescued,
Dm F G
waiting for that ship to carry you on board,
Dm F C
do you ever think of me as your boatman?

Should the winds of sorrow sweep over your emotions,

just remember my love is here to guide you,

safely through the night to any ocean port,
Em G D
if you ever think of me as your boatman.
Em G D A D
If you ever think of me as your boatman.
