Boats To Build Chords

(ver. 1)
Jerry Jeff Walker
[Intro]
 
C      F
C      F
C      F
 
[Verse]
 
C      F        C       F
It's time, time for a change
C      F        C       F     F Am
Cuz I'm tired, of that same old same
Dm
same old words
Em                 F                          G
same old lines, same old tricks and the same old rhymes
 
C   F    C    F
Days, precious days
                C     F    C    F    F Am
they roll in and out, just like waves
Dm                          Em
Got boards to bend, planks to nail
     F                           G
charts to make, and I got seas to sail
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          F                     G
So I'll build me a boat with these two hands
           C       C/B          F    F Am
It'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Dm                 G            G    G
let the chips fall where they will
                          C    F    C   F
cause I've got me boats to build
 
 
[Verse]
 
C      F        C       F
Sails, are just like wings
C      F        C       F      F Am
When the wind blows, how it makes them sing
 
Dm              Em            F                     G
Songs of life, Songs of hope, songs to keep all your dreams afloat
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          F                     G
So I'll build me a boat with these two hands
           C       C/B          F    F Am
It'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Dm                 G            G    G
let the chips fall where they will
                          C    F    C   F
cause I've got me boats to build
 
 
[Verse]
 
C      F        C       F
Shores, distant shores
C      F        C       F     F Am
That's a place, I'll be headed for
 
Dm              Em            F                     G
Stars at night, to guide my way, started sail into the light of day
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          F                    G
I'm gonna build me a boat with these two hands
           C      C/B           F     F Am
It'll be a fair curve from a noble plan
Dm                 G          G
let the chips fall where they will
                C    F    C   F
(yeah!) I've got me boats to build
C    F    C   F
yeah, I've got me dreams to fill
C    F    C   F
Yeah, I've got me boats to build
C    F    C   F
Let the winds take me where they will
 
 
[Outro]
 
C    F    C   F
C    F    C   F
 
End on F C
