Send A Boat Cifras

There is a walk down from G to Em most of the time
 
[Intro]
G Em Cadd9 G Em D G
 
[Verse]
G                     Cadd9
pictures on the wall, bible in her hand
D                        Cadd9          G
children never call, she misses her old man
G                     Cadd9
Rain on the window, quiet as a tear
D                                Cadd9            G
And if you never felt'em, you'll never know there here
 
[Chorus]
Em        Cadd9         G
Someone's cryin' in the hall
Em   Cadd9        D
Good Lord help us all
Em       Cadd9         G      Cadd9
While we try to stay afloat
       Em
if you would Lord
D      G
send a boat
 
[Verse]
G                  Cadd9
Holes in the wall, bottle by his bed
D                   Cadd9       G
Holes in his past, empty as his head
G                            Cadd9
He's younger when he dreams, he's older than his years
D                       Cadd9               G
if if he never wakes up he'll know why he's here
 
[Chorus]
Em       Cadd9         G
someones crying in the hall
Em   Cadd9        D
Good Lord help us all
Em       Cadd9       G        Cadd9
while we try to stay afloat
       Em
if you would Lord
D      G
send a boat
 
[Instrumental]
G Em C G
Em C D C G C
Em D G
 
[Verse]
G                     Cadd9
Writings on the wall, bruise on his face
D                    Cadd9           G
daddy's come and go, his mama's on a date
G                         Cadd9
hes just cold and hungry, playing ain't no fun
D                        Cadd9           G
and if he ever grows up, he'll get him a gun
 
[Chorus]
Em       Cadd9         G
someones cryin' in the hall
Em   Cadd9        D
Good Lord help us all
Em     Cadd9       G        Cadd9
why we try to stay afloat
       Em
if you would Lord
D      G
send a boat
