CAPO: 3rd Fret



INTRO: G  D  Em G C D  G

        D  Em
Once I tried to row
      G       C  D G
'Cause you know I hate to fly
        D       Em
So I set out from the coast
            C   D Em
But got battered by the tide
          A
As I glided back to shore
         D
I raised an angry oar
  C         G   D G
And cursed that blue divide

      D      Em
As if it weren't enough
      G        C   D  G
To still be stranded on the wrong side
      D      Em
I landed in the surf
           C   D  Em
When a breaker hit my blind side
            A
And when my clothes had dried
          D
I hung my head and cried
 C        G   Bm
Beside that blue divide


          C       Bm
'Cause all that time I thought
       C      Bm
That you and I were lost
          C
A toss, long fallen wide
    D    G   D C
In that blue divide
      D    G   D C  D G
That endless blue divide


          D      Em
So I climbed up o___n a dune
       G     C   D  G
And found Marconi with his radio
         D      Em
He was looking kind of blue
            C    D  Em
'Cause his antenna rusted long ago
          A
And sitting on the cliff
          D
We shared a handkerchief
  C       G   Em
Above that blue divide
         A
I waved it in the hope
           D
That you owned a telescope
      C         G   Bm
That could pierce that blue divide


        C      Bm
I thought I was marooned
              C     Bm
'Til I caught sight of your balloon___
        C
Rising with the moon
      D    G   D C
Across that blue divide
      D    G   D C
That endless blue divide
      D    G   D C
Across that blue divide
      D    G   D C
That endless blue divide
      D    G   D C
Across that blue divide
      D    G
That endless blue divide
