Intro|| G| Em| G| Em|
let me off of this boat
I'm sick of this ride
the world is heading ever southward
and I can't stay in here
and you're lying awake
away on your side
the feeling comes in waves and burns us
and I don't wanna die
from your slippery hands
to the line of your throat
the fever now consumes us both
in a fire now we will go
Santa Maria
why did you have to go
Santa Maria
stop
one day we will know
in a bowing of heads and a passing of hands
and all we thought they would understand
is lost and they won't know
and what have we left
it's all that we got
there is no x to mark our spot
what's past is done and gone
Santa Maria
why did you have to burn
Santa Maria
one day you will learn

Slide from 8th fret to 12th fret
|-----------------------------------------------------| |----8------12----------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------|
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!!
