Song: If You Were A Sailboat
By:   Katie Melua

[intro:] 4 x C#m
 
[verse: 1]
C#m                             A
  If you were a cowboy I would trail you
C#m                                A               E
  If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor
F#m                               B               E    
  If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore

[verse: 2] 
C#m                            A
  If you were a river I would swim you
C#m                            A                  E
  If you were a house I would live in you all my days
F#m                            B                 E
  If you were a preacher I'd begin to change my ways
 
[chorus:]
C#m                       A 
  Sometimes I believe in fate
                     B
But the chances we create
                          A
Always seem to ring more true
F#m                           B   
  you took a chance on loving me
                           E  D C#m B  {walk down from E to B}
I took a chance on loving you
E  D C#m B
 
[verse: 3]
C#m                               A 
  If I was in jail I know you'd spring me
C#m                            A               E
  If I were a telephone you'd ring me all day long
F#m                              B                 E
  If I was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs

[chorus:] 
C#m                      A 
 Sometimes I believe in fate
                     B
But the chances we create
                         A
Always seem to ring more true
F#m                          B    
 You took a chance on loving me
                         |  E   | D | C#m | B | E  | D | C#m | B | E |  |
I took a chance on loving you

[verse: 4]  
C#m                          A 
  If I was hungry you would feed me
C#m                               A               E
  If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
F#m                             B              E
  If I was a book I know you'd read me every night

[verse: 5]  
C#m                             A 
  If you were a cowboy I would trail you
C#m                                A               E
  If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor
F#m                               B                E
  If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore

[coda:] 
F#m                               B               E   
  If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
F#m                               B               E    |  E  |  |  |
  If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
