Float Away Chords by Slaughter Beach, Dog

[Intro]

E   B   A   
E   E  
 
 
[Verse]

               E      
Down Delaware River, 
        B
I went with her
          A                     E
We pulled over by the silvery blue
               E    
Leather seat Chevy, 
             B
sticky and sweaty
          A         
We went swimmin' in 
               B
our birthday suits
 
 
[Verse]
              E     
A sleepy mamasita, 
                 B
thermos of margaritas
                   A             
We’re never gonna make it back to
           E
 New York now
                    E           
Freckles on your shoulder get me 
        B
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]
                E        
I keep an old photo when 
        B
I ride solo
         A                   E
Hidden away on the driver's side
                 E     
Torn and out of focus,
          B
 I don't notice
              A             
Till I was cleanin' out the 
          B
van last night
 
 
[Verse]
              E               B
Tucked away sweetly in an old CD
             A                  E
Between the pages of the liner notes
                E           
How could I forget you like 
         B
I never met you
         A                
Mama, I never should have 
        F#
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]

            E         
Maybe I'll see her in 
          B
an old theater
          A                      E
When I'm rollin like a rolling stone
              E         
Pickin out a new tune, 
                 B
lookin' round a big room
           A             B
In Baton Rouge or San Anton
 
 
[Verse]

           E          
On a Saturday night, 
                 B
underneath the spotlight
          A                 E
We’ll communicate a secret song
                   C#m        
That I could never do  right, 
               G#m
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
