Intro|| G| Em| G| Em|
[G]let me off of this boat
I'm sick of this ride
the world is heading ever southward
and I c[Em]an't stay in here
and [G]you're lying awake
away on your side
the feeling comes in waves and burns us
and [Em]I don't wanna die
from y[G]our slippery hands
to the line of your throat
the fever now consumes us both
in a f[Em]ire now we will go
Santa Ma[C(maj7)]ria
why did you have to g[Em]o
Santa Maria[C(maj7)]
(stop)
one day we will know
i[G]n a bowing of heads and a passing of hands
and all we thought they would understand
is [Em]lost and they won't know
and what have we l[G]eft
it's all that we got
there is no x to mark our spot
what's p[Em]ast is done and gone
Santa Mari[C(maj7)]a
why did you have to bur[Em]n
Santa Mar[C(maj7)]ia
one day you will lear[G]n

Notes: Glen just batters the guitar with the side of hand or pick for most of the song. The C(maj7) can
be played as a C or a Cmaj7. I thought it was just a C the first time I played it but the lead guitar plays
wee slide up to a B note every time the C chord comes up so it has a feel of a maj7.
Hope this helps!!
