Key: D D/F#: 220232 Intro: D Bm Gm D Bm Bb D Bm Gm D Bm G Verse 1: D Free as the wind on the ocean F#m Wild as the rain in the storm G Immense out on the grand horizon D A A As a thunderhead taking form
D Turn in with the stars on the water F#m Rise with the tides in the dawn G Be your own boss for the summer D A Seize the moment before it's gone Chorus: G D/F# Em7 A7 Sixteen on a fishing boat D Bm Gm D Bm Bb Learning to float Verse 2: D Some who keep their secrets like treasure F#m Some who tend to cling to the coast G No one who can stand staying landlocked D A A For longer than a month at most D Free as the churn of the riptide F#m Free as a wreck in the drift G Nothing's ever promised to anyone D A Everything you get is a gift Chorus: G D/F# Em7 A7 Sixteen on a fishing boat D D Learning to float Bridge: G Learning to swim D Learning how to tread water Em Learning how to raise our cries to the skies A A Like seals to the slaughter Instrumental: (C D) x4 (Bb D) x4 Verse 3: D Still as the sky on the ocean F#m Mute as the moon overhead G Me and Peter Balkan and you, friend D A Everybody else is dead D Turning where the rain won't reach us F#m Rise with the sun all alone G Be your own boss for the summer D A Just once before you're grown Chorus: G D/F# Em7 A7 Sixteen on a fishing boat G D/F# Em7 A7 Sixteen on a fishing boat G D/F# Em7 A7 Sixteen on a fishing boat D We are learning to float Instrumental: (Bb C D) x16 End by strumming D once.
