Eb 
A little boy me went fishing in a wooden boat  
                 Ab           Eb 
Sitting there for hours in the cold 
Eb               
Patience is a virtue til we die  
                    Ab               Eb 
Then a ripple in the water caught my eye.  

Ab                                         Bbm 
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for 
Eb                Ab                      Eb       
That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor 
Ab                               Bbm 
We go from green to blue to go to black 
Db           Ab                           Eb  
Breathe deep, who knows how long will this last. 


Only was last week I learnt to drive  
Stole my mother's keys and drove all night  
Christine never showed it's 4 am  
Started up mum's car drove home again.  

One year ago I kissed my bride  
Now I wait to hear my baby's cry  
Woman showed me all that she knew then  
To cut himself down man's born again.  

Christine died and now I'm here alone  
What I wouldn't give to be on that wooden boat.
