Verse 1:
E                 D
  In a momentary lapse of my condition
E                               D
  That sent me tumbling down into a deep despair
E                          D
  Lost and dazed, so I had no real recollection
Em7         A7               E
  Until the rain cleared the air

Verse 2:
E                            D
  When you wake to find that everything has left you,
E                            D7
  And the clothes you wear belong to someone else
E                         D
  See your shadow chasing off towards the shoreline,
Em7        A7        E
  Drifting into emptiness


Chorus:
          D             Dsus2   E
There are bullrushes outside my window,
          D              A            E
And their leaves whisper words in the breeze
      D                         E
Well, tomorrow I'll walk to the harbour,
          G          A             E
Catch the first boat that's comin' in
               G          A             E    Esus4
I'll catch the first boat that's comin' in


Verse 3:
E                           D                    Dsus2
  Like a child too small to reach the front door handle
E                             D7
  Or maybe just too scared to know what I would find
E                        D
  Now, I feel I'm strong enough to take the slow ride,
Em7           A7            E
  Not knowing when I will arrive


Chorus:
                D       Dsus4    D    E
Hey — there are bullrushes outside my window,
          D              A            E
And their leaves whisper words in the breeze,
    D       Dsus4 D Dsus2     E
And tomorrow I'll walk to the harbour,
          G          A             E
Catch the first boat that's comin' in
                     G          A             E    Esus4
Hey — I'll catch the first boat that's comin' in


Bridge:
D                        E    E7
  I do believe I'm going home
D                                   E
  'Cause I don't call this place my own
Gmaj7         A
  I'm missing what I had,
Dm9     C9
  Happy times and sad,
C9            Bb9
  More than I ever thought could be

  La-la la la la laa, laa la-la la laa
E                     D               Dsus2
  La-la la la la laa, laa la-la la la laa
Em7           A7          E
  Not knowing when I will arrive

Hey — there are bullrushes outside my window,
          D              Asus4 A      E     Esus4
And their leaves whisper words in the breeze
      D            Dsus4 Dsus2  E      Esus4
Well, tomorrow I'll walk to the harbour,
          G          A             E    Esus4
Catch the first boat that's comin' in
               G          A             E    E7
I'll catch the first boat that's comin' in
                     G          A             E  E7  E Esus4
Hey — I'll catch the first boat that's comin' in, yeah
G          A
First boat that's comin'
G          A
First boat that's comin'
G          A             E
First boat that's comin' in
