[Verse 1]
G We come on the Sloop John B G My grandfather and me G D Around Nassau town we did roam G Drinking all night C G/B Am Got into a fight, oh G Yeah, I feel so broke up D G I wanna go home
[Chorus]
G So hoist up the John B's sail (Hoist up the John B's sail) G See how the main sail sets (See how the main sail sets) G Call for the Captain ashore D G Let me go home, oh let me go home C G/B Am I wanna go home, oh yeah G Oh, I feel so broke up D G I wanna go home
[Verse 2]
G The first mate he got drunk G And broke in the Captain's bunk G D The constable had to come and take him away G Sheriff John Stone C G/B Am Why don't you leave me alone, what yeah G Well, I feel so broke up D G I wanna go home
[Chorus]
G Hoist up the John B's sail (Hoist up the John B's sail) G See how the main sail sets (See how the main sail sets) G Call for the Captain ashore D G Let me go home, oh let me go home C G/B Am Why don't you let me go home, what yeah G And I feel so broke up D G I wanna go home

G The poor cook he caught the fits G Threw away all my grits G D Then he took and he ate up all of my corn G Let me go home C G/B Am Why don't they let me go home, oh yeah G This is the worst trip D G I've ever been on (oh)
[Chorus]
G Hoist up the John B's sail (Hoist up the John B's sail) G See how the main sail sets (See how the main sail sets) G Call for the Captain ashore D G Let me go home (oh woh), let me go home C G/B Am I wanna go home, oh yeah G This is the worst trip D G I've ever been on
