I put myself on a sail ing boat

    Put into ports of every new found land

    G              D
The crew drops the anchor on my command

Bm                        F#m
   Down the boats, and we go ashore

    G                          A
But too bad, I know this can't happen anymore

D                                F#m
   I'd become an inventor to dis cover new things

A               A7             G   D
   I'd find out flying with my own wings

Bm                              F#m
   I'd find out light and the e lectric train

G                         D
  And I'd find out how to make it rain

Bm                                         F#m
    Yes, I should find out all those things
Although sometimes I was wrong
G                        A
But I'd never find out a gun or a bomb
