G (A): I'm not completly sure about how he fingers this one, I just use the bass notes
let the highs ring open. I think the High E kind of throws it off though so I don't play it.

F (G): Letting the high E string ring open is what makes the cord sound so good. Don't
play it as an F bar chord. If you can figure out how to hit the 1st fret on the B and
E strings, and let the High E ring open, then do it, but from what I can hear in the
he doesn't do it, so neither do I.

Verse 1:
C
Woke up at eight, started the fire
G
had a few drinks, we all felt inspired
Am
jumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens
F
the water was bitter cold
C
Laid in the raft till it started moving
G
the current just sang, the song was so soothing
AmF
we stopped along the way
AmF
on a beach in the sun, on a beautiful day
Chorus:
AmFGDF
Our boats collide, we'd feel the breeze
AmFGDF
We'd stay afloat and make the most of everything
Verse 2:
C
By noon we had swung the ropes in the woods
G
missed all danger, snakes, and the floods
Am
burnt by the rays and next to our legs,
F
the water so bitter cold
C
Lunch had been saved along with the lighters
G
wet cigarettes serve us as reminders
AmFAmF
never trust a man with the food, change of clothes, and a drink in his hand
Chorus: Extended
AmFGDF
Our boats collide, we'd feel the breeze
AmFGDF
We'd stay afloat and make the most of everything
AmFGD
The sun would set, the stars would shine
AmFGD
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
AmFGDF
Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
Bridge:
G
We laughed away the sunburn
FC
as we laughed away the day
G
What we lost means nothing
F-bridge
for the memories will stay...
Verse 3:
C
Caught the last bus with no time to linger
G
the driver seemed to be missing a finger
AmFAmF
I turned and looked away to the bus, gravel road and a beautiful day
Chorus:
AmFGDF
Our boats collide, we'd feel the breeze
AmFGDF
We'd stay afloat and make the most of everything
AmFGD
The sun would set, the stars would shine
AmFGD
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
AmFGDF
Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
AmFGDF
Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
