On Board chords by Alana Henderson

INTRO:
NONE


VERSE: (Alana Henderson)

G        Am
I don't need no shore leave

    F                C
'Cause feet fixed, I still sway to the sea's heave


 G        Am            F
Don't?need?to be wrung? out or hung out to dry

        C
I?know how the lands lie


 G         Am
And if you came on board

       F            C
I know you'd scan for the safety of a lighthouse blink


G       Am
Any port in a storm, love

   F
You promise you won't falter

    C         G
But I know I've seen men sink


CHORUS: (Alana Henderson and Joshua Burnside)

N.C.       C
So you should get on board

   G            Am      F
With someone whose course is steadier than mine


        C
You should get on board

   G           Am
With someone whose eyes are on the horizon

 F
Not on the skies


C       G
On board with someone

       Am        F
Whose anchor is heavier than mine


        C  C G
You should get on board

 E  Am F
Haa haaaaa


VERSE: (Alana Henderson)

 F      Am       F
'Cause I'm a flotsam jetsam mess

      C      C  G
A drunken sailor in a dre-ess


 G     Am       F
And fifty fathoms deep no less

          C C G
When my heart's at sea


G          Am
And if you came on board

       F             C
I know you'd tire of the tossing of my seabed


 G         Am
And forget what I said

 F             C      G
Ships were not built to be safe, no, no, no


CHORUS: (Alana Henderson and Joshua Burnside)

G         C
So you should get on board

   G            Am      F
With someone whose course is steadier than mine


        C
You should get on board

   G           Am
With someone whose eyes are on the horizon

 F     F  C
Not on the ski-ies


        G
On board with someone

       Am        F
Whose anchor is heavier than mine


        C  C G
You should get on board

E   Am  F
Ha ha haaaa


VERSE: (Joshua Burnside]

 F           C
Well, I've weathered worse storms

     E
Than the one, the one you've been

Am          F
 Brewin' up in your mind


 F        C
I've weathered worse storms

    E          Am
Lord knows, he knows I've been sailin'

    F
For an awfully long time


 C             E
Worse storms than all your fair-weather friends

   Am
And your shipmates combined

 F
Tie up those lines


    C
'Cause I shot the albatross

  G
And I will swim across

  Am            F
The old man and the sea has nothin' on me


    C
'Cause this love is steady

 E
Truer than North

  Am         F  C
Now you take that on board

 G        Am  F
You take that on boar-oard


CHORUS: (Alana Henderson and Joshua Burnside)

F         C
No, you should get on board

   G            Am      F
With someone whose course is steadier than mine


           C
   You should get on board
(I've weathered worse storms)

   G           Am
With someone whose eyes are on the horizon

 F     F  C
Not on the ski-ies
  (I stare at)


        G
On board with someone

       Am        F
Whose anchor is heavier than mine


    F       C    G
    You should get on board
(I've sailed in a storm)


 G    Am    F
Will end for the year


VERSE: (Alana Henderson and Joshua Burnside)

N.C.     C
I'll be the figurehead

  G
On your ship's bow

       Am
I'll be the last glimpse of a topsail

  F
As we go down


     C
I'll be waiting on the seabed

  G
Repeating the words

     Am          F
Don't forget, ships were not built to be safe
(You said)


    C        G
And in all my life's mistakes

 G
You were not one

    Am
'Cause all I've ever done

 F
All I've ever done


  C
Is love you

    G       Am  F  C
To the bottom of the deep blue sea
