B                A  G E   B
I took myself a blue   canoe
        D      A      E   B
and I floated like a leaf
B                 A  G E    B
dazzling dancing half   enchanted
D      A      E
in my merlin  sleep
G      A       Bm
crazy was the feeling
G         A       Bm
restless were my eyes
G  A         E
insane they took the paddles
G                F#sus4 F#
my arms they paralyzed

Chorus:
  Bm         D
so where to now St. Peter
E                G
if it's true I'm in your hands
Bm         D
I may not be a christian
 E                G
but I've done all one man can
Bm                       D
I understand I'm on the road
      E                G
where all that was is gone
    Bm       D       Esus4
so where to now St. Peter
      G        A      Esus4
show me which road I'm on
               B
which road I'm on

It took a sweet young foreign gun
This lazy life is short
Something for nothing always ending
With a bad report
Dirty was the daybreak
Sudden was the change
In such a silent place as this
Beyond the rifle range

Chorus

I took myself a blue canoe
