Barges

   C majorC   A minorAm    C majorC        A minorAm
1.  Me and my brother returned to the water,
  C majorC     E minorEm    FF        C majorC
  I saw a pike that was two feet long.
   A minorAm    C majorC     A minorAm       C majorC
  Two small magicians, each with a jam jar
  A minorAm        C majorC       G+G       A minorAm
  cast spells on the water with hazel twig wands.

 C majorC        A minorAm       C majorC      A minorAm
2. Country boys catch tadpoles, dive into water,
     C majorC        E minorEm   FF        C majorC
  made shy by their laughter, we wondered down stream.
  A minorAm          C majorC        A minorAm         C majorC
  And summer rolled o?er us with     no complications,
  A minorAm          C majorC       G+G        A minorAm
  sat     thinking of Mama,    sometimes in dreams.

 C majorC         A minorAm    C majorC       A minorAm
3. Stand by the drawbridge waiting for barges,
   C majorC     E minorEm    FF        C majorC
  waiting around for smiles from the man.
   A minorAm       C majorC       A minorAm        C majorC
  Lifting the bridge whilst    watching the horses,
   A minorAm    C majorC       G+G     A minorAm
  dragging the slow boats up the canal.

  C majorC    A minorAm    C majorC         A minorAm
4. I do remember the times but no number,
   C majorC      E minorEm    FF       C majorC
  after the day, but before evening comes.
   A minorAm      C majorC       A minorAm       C majorC
  Waiting for castles and    kettles with roses,
   A minorAm     C majorC      G+G       A minorAm
  painted on barges that sailed into the sun.
