All Ashore

The G string is pretty important when using these chord options.
Note there is also the option to play Em7 instead of the Cmaj7.
And to use the TABd chord options instead of the Bm and Cmaj7.
(Ive tried both and it just depends on preference!)
Play around with it and have fun!

Verse 1

Em9
Momma cuts like a man-of-war
                      Gmaj7
Through the fog of an early morning
Em7                        Bm                    Cmaj7
With nothing more than a coffee filling up her sails
Em9
A couple sips and she says, I know
                  Gmaj7
I can keep what I started going
Em7                             Bm
She hears the clock tick, the wolf who loiters at the door
Cmaj7                Gmaj7
Daddy asleep in the bed he made the night before
Em7                           Bm             Cmaj7
And so she cuts through the morning like a man-of-war

Verse 2

Em9
Daddy burns like a meteor
                      Gmaj7
Through a night of his own diversions
Em7                        Bm                Cmaj7
Hoping to blaze half a second of a glowing trail
Em9
Pours rum on his weary heart
                   Gmaj7
Says, hey, I'm closer than when I started
Em7                             Bm
He hears the clock tick, the wolf who loiters at the door
Cmaj7               Gmaj7
Momma tossing and turning through the coming storm
Em7                           Bm             Cmaj7
And so he burns through diversions like a meteor
Oh, there's a lot to learn

Chorus

Em
One puts into port
           D
Lowers a rowboat and grabs an oar
         G                 Am
Singing, all ashore that's going ashore
Gm
One falls back to earth
          C7
Leaves a crater on the bedroom floor
         G              D                  Bb
Singing, love, I know I promised more than this

Pre-Verse

G                        A
Momma cuts through the morning like a man-of-war
Bm                     D
Daddy burns through diversions like a meteor
G                      A                       Bm
And so they use one another like a guiding star
   D                                               Em9
And how I watch as they wonder where and what they are

Verse 3

Em9
I reflect like a troubadour
                        Gmaj7
The ebb and flow of their hope and worry
Em7                     Bm                 Cmaj7
In every verse of a living, breathing fairy tale
Em9
As Momma rises and Daddy sets
                         Gmaj7
Just like they have since the night I met them
Em7                       Bm
I hear the clock tick, the wolf who loiters at the door
Cmaj7                   Gmaj7
Whatever else they decide to fight about and for
Em7               Bm                  Cmaj7
As I reflect, hope, and worry like a troubadour
Oh, there's a lot to learn, oh

Chorus

Em
One puts into port
           D
Lowers a rowboat and grabs an oar
          G               Am
Singing, all ashore that's going ashore
Am7
One falls back to earth
B7
Leaves a crater on the bedroom floor
           G                D              C
Singing, love, I don't need any more than this
