Intro: B Bm7/A E B (2x) 

B               A  G   E        B 
  I took myself a blue           canoe, 
      D     A    E  B 
and I floated like a leaf. 
B                A  G   E       B 
Dazzlin', dancin', half           enchanted 
D      A    E     B 
   in my Merlin sleep. 


G   A       Bm 
Crazy was the feeling, 
G      A     Bm 
restless were my eyes, 
G      A           E 
  insane they took the paddles, 
G                    F#sus4  F# 
  my arms they paralyzed. 

Chorus: 
   Bm       D 
So,  where to now, St. Peter, 
E                G 
if it's true I'm in  your hands 
Bm          D 
  I may not be  a Christian, 
E                 G 
but I've done all one man can. 
Bm                      D 
  I understand I'm on the road 
      E                   G 
where all that was is gone, 
   Bm     D 
so where to now, 
     Esus4 
St. Peter, 
      G     A          Esus4 
show me which road I'm on, 
               B Bm7/A E B B Bm7/A E B 
which road I'm on. 

Took a sweet young foreign gun, 

this lazy life is short. 

Something for nothing always ending 

with a bad report. 

Dirty was the daybreak, 

sudden was the change, 

in such a silent place as this, 

beyond the rifle range. 

{Chorus} 
B               A  G  E    B 
  I took myself a blue          canoe.
