A New Shore Chords & Lyrics by Steven Page
A New Shore
guitar chords lyrics
I've wanted to do a Steven Page Tab for a while, so here it is. Tabbed from a live
outdoor performance at Yonge/Dundas (Toronto) where I zoomed right in, so should
be accurate (use Firefox if the chords don't line up). A great tune off his album
"Page One". Enjoy!

G Am
As captain of this band of merry sailors I'm a black mark I'm a failure
D G
So before you watch me drown
G
I'm relinquishing command for something I don't understand,
Am D G
this man's about to turn his whole life upside down
D G
I set a course for a new shore
D G
It looked the same as the one before
Cm G
And I forgot what I'd been sailing for
D G
And why I thought this time would be different
G
I do most of this by feel and let go of the wheel the constellations
Am D G
Do the navigation on their own.
G
Whilst yearning for adventure, dreading censure in absentia
Am D G
I would rather be at sea than be alone
D G
I set a course for a new shore
D G
It looked the same as the one before
Cm G
And I forgot what I'd been sailing for
D G
And why I thought this time would be different
(G)
Off the charts we drew
Am D G
They said there wasn't anything but fairy tales
Am D Em
I told them it was you, I told them you were everything a fairy tale could be
Am
The boat sails by
Em Am Bm
Oooo-The shore remains and so do I
D G
I swear this time will be different
Instrumental G - Am - D - G (x2)
D G
I settled here on a new shore
D G
My lips were blue and my legs were sore
Cm G
And I forget if I was pushed or I jumped overboard
D G
And after all this time, what's the difference?
Bm7 C A7
Oooo-ooooooh Oooo-aaaahhh
Instrumental (palm muted) G - Am - D (x2)
G
Land Ho! (Laa-and Ho!)
Am D
Land Ho! Land Ho!
(x3)
G
Land Ho! Laa-and Ho!
Am D G
Land Ho! Land Ho!
