Levellers - The Boatman Chords

  E                                      D             E
If I could chose the life I please then I would be a boatman 
  E                                   D                E
On the can*ls and the rivers free no hasty words are spoken 
  D                             A
My only law is the river breeze that takes me to the open seas
  E                                    D             E
If I could chose the life I please then I would be a boatman
 

  E                                      D             E
If I could chose the life I please then  I would be a rover
  E                                      D             E
And if the roads was not for me  then I would chose another
  D                             A
Mountains and the valleys deep where I would take this weary feet
  E                                      D             E
If I could chose the life I please then I would be a rover


Bm                      A            Bm                   A
But these things are so hard for me  I cannot chose my own destiny
 Bm                   A                   E
And all things that I want to see are so unclean

  E                                            D             E
Well I wish I could chose the life I please, I am not a   free man
  E                              D             E
Others rule my destiny but   my will is never  broken


 Bm             A          Bm                A
I know some day I will be  everything that I dreamed I'd be
 E                                      D              E
And when I've lived the life I please then I will be a free man
 Bm             A          Bm                A
I know some day I will be  everything that I dreamed I'd be
 E                                     D              E
And when I've lived the life I please then I will be a free man
 E                                     D              E
And when I've lived the life I please then I will be a free man
