Woke up at eight, started the fire
Had a few drinks, we all felt inspired
Jumped in the stream, in our shoes and canteens
The water was bitter cold
Laid in the raft until it started moving
The current just sang, the song was so soothing
We stopped along the way
On a beach, in the sun, on a beautiful day
Our boats collide, we feel the breeze
We stay afloat and make the most of everything
By noon we had swung on ropes in the woods
Missed all dangers, snakes and the floods
Burned by the rays and next to our legs
The water so bitter cold
Lunch had been saved along with the lighters
Wet cigarettes serve us as reminders
Never trust a man with food, change of clothes
And a drink in his hand
Our boats collide, we feel the breeze
We stay afloat and make the most of everything
The sun will set, the stars would shine
The trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
We'd laugh away the sunburn
As we laughed away the day
What we lost means nothing
For the memories will stay
Caught the last bus with no time to linger
The driver seemed to be missing a finger
I turned and looked away
To the bus, gravel road, and a beautiful day
Our boats collide, we feel the breeze
We stay afloat and make the most of everything
The sun will set, the stars would shine
The trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
Let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone

I'm going to refer to cords by the position you are holding your hand, not by their
name. The chord's actual name is a whole step higher.

G (A): I'm not completly sure about how he fingers this one, I just use the bass notes
let the highs ring open. I think the High E kind of throws it off though so I don't play it.

F (G): Letting the high E string ring open is what makes the cord sound so good. Don't
play it as an F bar chord. If you can figure out how to hit the 1st fret on the B and
E strings, and let the High E ring open, then do it, but from what I can hear in the
he doesn't do it, so neither do I.
