All The Rowboats (Cifras)

Capo 3



[Intro] 

Am E F Dm



Am                E

All the rowboats in the paintings

F                     Dm

They keep trying to row away

Am                 E

And the captains' worried faces

F                    Dm

Stay contorted and staring at the waves

Am                 E

They'll keep hanging in their gold frames

F                 Dm

For forever, forever and a day

Am                E

All the rowboats in the oil paintings

F                     Dm

They keep trying to row away, row away



Am                   E   

Hear them whispering French and German

F               Dm

Dutch, Italian, and Latin

Am                    E

When no one's looking I touch a sculpture

F                 Dm

Marble, cold, and soft as satin

Am                   E

But the most special are the most lonely

F               Dm

God, I pity the violins

Am                E

In glass coffins they keep coughing

F                     Dm

They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing



Am                         E

First there's lights out, then there's lock up

F                     Dm

Masterpieces serving maximum sentences

Am                   E

It's their own fault for being timeless

F                     Dm

There's a price to pay and a consequence

Am                E

All the galleries, the museums

F                     Dm

Here's your ticket, welcome to the tombs

Am                  E

They're just public mausoleums

F                     Dm

The living dead fill every room

Am                   E

But the most special are the most lonely

F                Dm

God, I pity the violins

Am                E

In glass coffins they keep coughing

F                     Dm

They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing



Am                E

They will stay there in their gold frames

F            Dm

For forever, forever and a day

Am                E

All the rowboats in the oil paintings

F                     Dm

They keep trying to row away, row away



Am                        E

First there's lights out, then there's lock up

F                     Dm

Masterpieces serving maximum sentences

Am                   E

It's their own fault for being timeless

F                     Dm

There's a price to pay and a consequence

Am                  E 

All the galleries, the museums

F                     Dm

They will stay there forever and a day

Am                E

All the rowboats in the oil paintings

F                     Dm

They keep trying to row away, row away

Am                E

All the rowboats in the oil paintings

F                     Dm

They keep trying to row away, row away
