[G] [Am7] [B/D] [C]
Ol' Joe's got a Boston whaler
[G] [Am7] [B/D] [C]
he bought in Key Biscane
[G] [Am7] [B/D] [C]
He swears since the day he's got her
[G] [Am7] [B/D] [C]
she's been nothing but a pain
[Am]
when the sun's at his back
[Am]
and the winds in his face

it's just him and the wheel

he wouldn't take a million for the

Newport is where John hung his hat
til he lost his wife Jo
now forty feet of sail antique
is where Ol' John calls home
[Am]
he watched his life pass before his eyes
[D]
in the middle of a hurricane
[Am]
came out alive on the other side
[D]
that's where "the other side" got its name
(Repeat Chorus)
(solo)
(Verse 3 - same chords and strumming as beginning here)
Twenty years of a landlocked job
was all that tom could take
sitting at his desk
all alone and depressed
says this just cant be my fate
[Am]
went home that night and told his wife
[D]
you can tell all your friends
[Am]
it's been real but it ain't been fun
[D]
gonna get us one of them
(Repeat Chorus)
(Ending)
[G] [D]
vessels of freed-om
[C]
