Great Big Sea - Boston And St Johns

my first chording effort – apologies for errors , etc! done from listening to the
album version , so no idea if this actually looks like the official version . . .

note : the melody starts on A D , while the guitar is playing E minor . this feels
very wrong til you get used to it . i think it sounds better if you sit heavily on
the low end : you really want that underlying E – F – G on the low E string .

chords used :
Em 022000
D/F 200230
G 320033
A x02220

intro :
Em – D/F – G – ( G )
Em – D/F – G – A:x1

x2: [ oohs ]

verse 1 :
Em D/F G
girl don’t tell me that it’s morning
Em D/F G ( A )
can we keep the curtains drawn?
Em D/F G
i haven’t given you fair warning
Em D/F G A
but our ship , it sails at dawn

chorus :
D/F A G A
and it’s true i must be going , but i swear it won’t be long
D/F A G A
there isn’t that much ocean between boston and st . johns
Em D/F A D/F ( ? )
i’m a rover , and i’m bound to sail away
G A ( – >em . . . )
i’m a rover can you love me anyway?

[ 1x intro passage ]

verse 2 :
Em D/F G
and if some suitor comes approaching
Em D/F G ( A )
will you let him through your door?
Em D/F G
what if i return half – broken?
Em D/F G A
will you still love me any more?

chorus :
D/F A G A
and it’s true i must be going , but i swear it won’t be long
D/F A G A
