G

[Verse 1]

Water lapping 'round my knees

Golden sand beneath my feet
             C            G
Would mean a lot to me

There's very little you can say

To make those feelings go away
         C
'Til you take me


[Chorus 1]
        Em                D
There's nothing more that I prefer
   G            C
To see the boys and the girls
        Em       D
Step it out with grace and pride
   G             C                 G
As honesty flows by their side


[Verse 2]

I cannot run from times hard pressed

To become embittered, dispossessed
          C         G
Just like some do

And maybe some place I can find

Where wheel and heart become entwined
       C
Like I hope to


[Chorus 2]
    Em              D
And nothing matters more to you
   G              C
To sit and sing a song that's true
    Em                  D
The first one there and last to leave
      G            C
Sweet memories for you to keep


[Instrumental]
Em  D  G  C  Em  D  G  C       G


[Bridge]

No easy lesson for me to learn
                                       C     G
Just close those eyes of mock concern

And halt your rush to be sincere

There's more in life for you to fear


[Chorus 1]
        Em                D
There's nothing more that I prefer
   G            C
To see the boys and the girls
Em               D
Step it out with grace and pride
   G             B7
As honesty flows by their side


[Chorus 2]
    Em              D
And nothing matters more to you
   G              C
To sit and sing a song that's true
    Em                  D
The first one there and last to leave
      G            C
Sweet memories for you to keep
