Man The Riverboat by Lukulele Slim
Man The Riverboat
[Intro]
G Am
[Verse 1]
Am F
fill the tea mug with raindrops and chamomile
C
Exhale like a survivor on the battlefield
C
Days I feel like a spoke in the wagon wheel
G
I make an extra effort to stop and smell the daffodils
Am
Heel clicker and a slammer of cheap wine
F
Passing the peace pipe while I lamp at the beehive
C
Wonderland reconnaissance, scan it with three eyes
G
Still hustle the muscles sore and handle my B.I.
Am
Yo, I’m about as spiritual as the next man
F
Finger painting a Rembrandt and practicing my headstands
C
Shortened laps on the cycle of Siddhartha
G
Do unto others Brother, shit is vital for to the karma
Am
I ain’t gonna front, I’d love to be rich and famous
F
Just so I could leave it and fold into the nameless
C
Knowledge of the mental, pleasures of the physical
G C
Wielding wooden oars rolling in my rusty riverboat
[Chorus]
C F
Getting questioned by the moment
F
Like who are you? Where you going?
G F
When they ask me, I tell them I just man the riverboat
F C
Man the riverboat, man the river boat
C F
Getting questioned by the moment
F
Like who are you? Where you going?

When they ask me, I tell them I just man the riverboat

Man the riverboat, man the river boat
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Am
Everything will be just fine
F
The storms will never last
C
Currently I’m on cloud 9
G
But even this too shall pass
[Verse 2]
Am
I alone can define what the I is told
F
The fire grows, I’m still chill like icicles
C
Bump a lively pulse, lying in the ivy cloaked
G
Hideaway, spying by the flash of a lightning bolt
Am
Dire day bubbling, what’s become of him?
F
Sunny spun a bit, now he don’t trust the government
C
Shit, loving lips done kissed my whole physical
G Am
Roll digital cam and freak them home videos, Damn
Am
Jimmy rig the outer realm radar
F
Hop the headstones, capture ghosts in the graveyard
C G
Bone digger, bone digger, Mr. Low whisper code kicker
G C
Pro rippler, sidearm stone skipper
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Am
I found myself
F
When I lost it all
C
By the sloping banks
G
And the waterfalls, I know
Am
There’s a crystal ball fog ahead
F
No sweat though, I’ll brave it wisely
C
I know I can’t control the flow of things
G
And no scholar or saint can guide me
Am
I’m a modern day barefoot ferryman
F
A good listener and a strong rower
C
When the river tells me to rest I do
G
When I hit the rough rapids, I paddle and keep the composure
Am
Hear the queries but I answer to the current
F
That flutter in my belly helps me tell I’m alive
C
I don’t know who I’ll be and I don’t know where I’ll be
G
Headed but it’s bout to be a hell of a ride
[Chorus]
C F
Getting questioned by the moment
F
Like who are you? Where you going?
G F
When they ask me, I tell them I just man the riverboat
F C
Man the riverboat, man the river boat
C F
Getting questioned by the moment
F
Like who are you? Where you going?
G F
When they ask me, I tell them I just man the riverboat
F C
Man the riverboat, man the river boat
[Chorus]
N.C.
Getting questioned by the moment
N.C.
Like who are you? Where you going?
N.C.
When they ask me I tell them I just man the riverboat
N.C.
Man the river boat, man the riverboat
