Intro|| G+G| E minorEm| G+G| E minorEm|

G+G
let me off of this boat

I'm sick of this ride

the world is heading ever southward
    E minorEm
and I can't stay in here
  G+G
and you're lying awake

away on your side

the feeling comes in waves and burns us
  E minorEm
and I don't wanna die
   G+G
from your slippery hands

to the line of your throat

the fever now consumes us both
   E minorEm
in a fire now we will go
    C(maj7)
Santa Maria
           E minorEm
why did you have to go
      C(maj7)
Santa Maria
     [stop]
one day we will know
 G+G
in a bowing of heads and a passing of hands

and all we thought they would understand
  E minorEm
is lost and they won't know
         G+G
and what have we left

it's all that we got

there is no x to mark our spot
    E minorEm
what's past is done and gone
     C(maj7)
Santa Maria
            E minorEm
why did you have to burn
     C(maj7)
Santa Maria
           G+G
one day you will learn

Notes: Glen just batters the guitar with the side of hand or pick for most of the song. The C(maj7) can
be played as a C majorC or a Cmaj7. I thought it was just a C majorC the first time I played it but the lead guitar plays
wee slide up to a BB note every time the C majorC chord comes up so it has a feel of a maj7.
Hope this helps!!
