Float Away

Intro 
E | B | A | E | E | 



               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 



              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 


              B    A 
Before you float away 
   B    A 
Float away 
F#m  F#7      B 
Go---ne  to stay 
             E 
And never return 


                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 


              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 


           B    A 
Let you float away 
   B   A 
Float away 
F#m  F#7      B 
Go---ne  to stay 
             E 
And never return

            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 


           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 


              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
