    A                               E
He left on a boat just to follow a dream
E          A
He had to find
     A                       F#m        E
You can't hold a man when he follows a dream
E             A
That's on his mind

         A          D           E         A
I see a boat on the river, it's sailing away
A           D            E           A
Down to the ocean, where to I can't say

A           D           E         A
Boat on the river, it's sailing away
A           D            E          A
Down to the ocean, where to I can't say

  A                               E
I waited for him such a very long time
E                A
Don't know what for
       A                            F#m        E
'cause I should have known when he left on the boat
E               A
We'll meet no more

         A          D           E         A

Boat on the river, you're bound for the sea

If you should find him, please greet him from me

            A                            D
There were people who came and said it's really a shame
           E                          A
Why did he take off to follow just a dream
       A                                    D
But I guess they were wrong in life you're sailing along
                  E                          A
And things don't turn out as simple as they seem
