Float Away

[Intro]
E   B   A   E   E  
 
 
[Verse 1]
               E             B
Down Delaware River, I went with her
          A                     E
We pulled over by the silvery blue
               E                  B
Leather seat Chevy, sticky and sweaty
          A                        B
We went swimmin' in our birthday suits
 
 
[Verse 2]
              E                     B
A sleepy mamasita, thermos of margaritas
                   A                        E
We’re never gonna make it back to New York now
                    E                    B
Freckles on your shoulder get me growin' older
            A                    F#
I gotta be holdin' on to you somehow
 
 
[Chorus]
              B    A
Before you float away
   B    A
Float away
F#m  F#7      B
Go---ne  to stay
             E
And never return
 
 
[Verse 3]
                E                B
I keep an old photo when I ride solo
         A                   E
Hidden away on the driver's side
                 E              B
Torn and out of focus, I don't notice
              A                       B
Till I was cleanin' out the van last night
 
 
[Verse 4]
              E               B
Tucked away sweetly in an old CD
             A                  E
Between the pages of the liner notes
                E                    B
How could I forget you like I never met you
         A                        F#
Mama, I never should have let you go
 
 
[Chorus]
           B    A
Let you float away
   B   A
Float away
F#m  F#7      B
Go---ne  to stay
             E
And never return
 
 
[Instrumental]
F#m   B     E     C#m  
F#m   F#7   E/B   B7   
 
 
[Verse 5]
            E                   B
Maybe I'll see her in an old theater
          A                      E
When I'm rollin like a rolling stone
              E                         B
Pickin out a new tune, lookin' round a big room
           A             B
In Baton Rouge or San Anton
 
 
[Verse 6]
           E                          B
On a Saturday night, underneath the spotlight
          A                 E
We’ll communicate a secret song
                   C#m                       G#m
That I could never do  right, never knew the good life
        A                    F#
Always packed up, soon to be gone
 
 
[Chorus]
              B    A
And I just float away
   B    A
Float away
F#m  F#7      B
Go---ne  to stay
             E   B
And never return
         A   E
Never return
 
 
[Outro]
E   B   A   E
