If I Had A Boat by Lyle Lovett
If I Had A Boat
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 9th fret
[Intro]
G6 G6 Cadd9 Em7/B G6 G6 Dsus2/F# G6
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
If I had a boat
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
I'd go out on the ocean
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
And if I had a pony
Em7 Dsus2/F#
I'd ride him on my boat
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
And we could all together
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
Go out on the ocean
G6 Dsus2/F# G6
I said me upon my pony on my boat
[Verse 1]
G6 Cadd9 Em7/B G6
If I were Roy Rogers, I'd sure enough be single
G6 Dsus2/F#
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
G6 Cadd9 Em7/B G6
It'd just be me and Trigger, we'd go riding through them movies
G6 Dsus2/F# G6
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
If I had a boat
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
I'd go out on the ocean
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
And if I had a pony
Em7 Dsus2/F#
I'd ride him on my boat
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
And we could all together
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
Go out on the ocean
G6 Dsus2/F# G6
I said me upon my pony on my boat
[Verse 2]
G6 Cadd9 Em7/B G6
Now the mystery masked man was smart He got himself a Tonto
G6 Dsus2/F#
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
G6 Cadd9 Em7/B G6
But Tonto he was smarter And one day said kemo sabe
G6 Dsus2/F# G6
Kiss my ass I bought a boat I'm going out to sea
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
If I had a boat
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
I'd go out on the ocean
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
And if I had a pony
Em7 Dsus2/F#
I'd ride him on my boat
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
And we could all together
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
Go out on the ocean
G6 Dsus2/F# G6
I said me upon my pony on my boat

[Verse 3]
G6 Cadd9 Em7/B G6
And if I were like lightning I wouldn't need no sneakers
G6 Dsus2/F#
Well I'd come and go wherever I would please
G6 Cadd9 Em7/B G6
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree and I'd scare 'em by the light pole
G6 Dsus2/F# G6
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
If I had a boat
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
I'd go out on the ocean
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
And if I had a pony
Em7 Dsus2/F#
I'd ride him on my boat
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
And we could all together
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
Go out on the ocean
G6 Dsus2/F# G6
I said me upon my pony on my boat
G6 Dsus2/F# G6
I said me upon my pony on my boat

Now if I were Roy Rogers, I'd sure enough be single,
Couldn't bring myself to marryin' no Dale,

And we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail.

Now if I were like lightning, I wouldn't need no sneakers,
Well I'd come and go whenever I did please,
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree, and I'd scare 'em by the light pole,
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea.
