E B11 E
we went to the lake and we sat in the sand
E B11 E
echoes came over those fresh summer jams
A E
the water was warm from the sun beating down
B11 A E* E
waded in slow till our feet couldn't touch the ground
(*substitute a d7 XX0222 if you want)
B11 A E
swimming beneath the power lines
B11 A E
we left those streets for the pines
(solo)
E B11 E
boats are in the harbor
E B11 E
down by the bay
A E
boats are in the harbor
B11 A E
waiting for clear days
B11 A E
It's just a matter of power lines
B11 A E
It's just a matter of time
(solo)
