WATERLINE

Key of G (starts on the 5 with a quick D ascending up to the 1, G)
Key of G (starts on the 5 with a quick D ascending up to the 1, G)
Songwriters often compose work to relieve the struggles they experience by writing in counterpoint scenarios with melody, cadence and lyrics to light the darkness. Songwriting wields a cathartic, magically, and sometimes prophetic balancing act of the heart. This song evokes the letting go of a loved one and traveling on in the circling journey of life and sorrow lined with gratitude.
Waterline is in the key of G and begins on the D (5) with an ascending run up to the G (1). When you get to the end of the song, repeat from the first verse through the last line of the second chorus, "As you take to the tide and go", - repeat that last line and out you go...

D G
In the garden of my heart-o,
C D G
I can hear your whistle while I’m walking
C D G
Yes, I feel the ripple in my shoes now
C D
As I wander through these hills
G C
Given time, storms roll over
G C
Lord, every hero and rover
G Em
Here’s a health to one another
Am D
As we carry on and go
G C
Heave away, let your sheets go
G C
I can feel the wind on my cheek
G Em
Blow a kiss to reach your lips, oh
Am D
As you take to the tide and go
D G
I can tell by the roll of the rainbow
C D G
How the colors change and fade-o
C D G
With a promise as it goes, oh
C D
I don’t mind the walk at all
G C
Won’t you go, the ship is ready
G C
Ah, the tide is right as any
G Em
Sure, I’ll watch from this rocky jetty
Am D
Till my eyes and the waterline meet
G C
Then I’ll turn and walk and wander
G C
Through this rolling world of wonders
G Em
Ah, my heart has much to ponder
Am D
As my eyes and the waterline meet [back to verse 1]
