Alas I Cannot Swim by Laura Marling
Alas I Cannot Swim
Put a capo on relative to the pitch of your voice. I found it was fitting on 3rd.
G C G
there's a house over the river but alas i cannot swim
G D
and a garden of such beauty that the flowers seem to grin
G C G
there's a house over the river but alas i cannot swim
G D G
ill live my life regretting that i never jumped in
C G C G C G G
G C G
there's a boy over the river with short black curly hair
G D
he wants to be my lover and i want to be his peer
G C G
there's a boy over the river but alas i cannot swim
G D G
i never will get to put my arms around him
C G C G C G G
G C G
there's a life up by the river that was meant for me
G D
instead i live my life in constant misery
G C G
there's a life across the river but i do not see
G D G
why i should please those who'll never be pleased
C G C G C G G
Em C Em
there is gold across the river but i dont want none
Em C G
there is gold across the river but i dont want none
Em C G
gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
Em D G
gold is fleeting, gold is fickle, gold is fun
G C G
there is gold across the river but i dont want none
G C
i would rather be driving being held up by a golden gun
G G C G
saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun
G G C G
saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun
G G C G
saying work more, earn more, live more, have more fun
To end the song strum each chords once in this order: GGCG
