Intro: B Bm7/A E B (2x)
B A G E B
I took myself a blue canoe,
D A E B
and I floated like a leaf.
B A G E B
Dazzlin', dancin', half enchanted
D A E B
in my Merlin sleep.
G A Bm
Crazy was the feeling,
G A Bm
restless were my eyes,
G A E
insane they took the paddles,
G F#sus4 F#
my arms they paralyzed.
Chorus:
Bm D
So, where to now, St. Peter,
E G
if it's true I'm in your hands
Bm D
I may not be a Christian,
E G
but I've done all one man can.
Bm D
I understand I'm on the road
E G
where all that was is gone,
Bm D
so where to now,
Esus4
St. Peter,
G A Esus4
show me which road I'm on,
B Bm7/A E B B Bm7/A E B
which road I'm on.
Took a sweet young foreign gun,
this lazy life is short.
Something for nothing always ending
with a bad report.
Dirty was the daybreak,
sudden was the change,
in such a silent place as this,
beyond the rifle range.
{Chorus}
B A G E B
I took myself a blue canoe.
