{c: These chord shapes but with Capo on 2 ?}
[C] Me and my [Am] brother re-[C]turned to the [Am] water,
[C] I saw a [Em] pike that [F] was two feet [C] long.
[Am] Two small ma-[C]gicians, [Am] each with a [C] jam jar
cast [Am] spells on the wa-[C]ter with [G] hazel twig [Am] wands.
[C] Country boys [Am] catch tadpoles, [C] dive into [Am] water,
made [C] shy by their [Em] laughter, we [F] wandered down [C] stream.
And [Am] summer rolled [C] o’er us with [Am] no compli-[C]cations,
'cept [Am] thinking of [C] Mama, [G] sometimes in [Am] dreams.
[C] Stand by the draw-[Am]bridge [C] waiting for [Am] barges,
[C] waiting a-[Em]round for [F] smiles from the [C] man.
[Am] Lifting the [C] bridge whilst [Am] watching the [C] horses,
[Am] dragging the [C] slow boats [G] up the ca-[Am]nal.
[C] I do re-[Am]member the [C] times but no [Am] number,
[C] after the [Em] day, but be-[F]fore evening [C] comes.
[Am] Waiting for [C] castles and [Am] kettles with [C] roses,
[Am] painted on [C] barges that [G] sailed into the [Am] sun.
[C] Oh see the [Am] river run, [C] that was by [Am] man begun
[C] Open the [Em] lock, let the [F] boats sail [C] on
[Am] Taking their [C] castles and [Am] kettles with [C] roses
With [Am] summers of [C] childhood leaving [G] smiles on the [Am] man
