Gordon Bok – Old Fat Boat (Guitar)

                F          C
Here I am, man, all alone again

          G                   C
Anchored aweigh, the hell and gone again

        F                 C
Another mile from another town

    G                    C
The wind north-east, the rain coming down

F                   C
Home is the sailor, home from the sea

          G                                  C
Leave the home for the mildew, friend to the flea

        G              C
I don't care, man, I'm happy

         F                   C
I got an old fat boat, she's slow but handsome

G                     C
Hard in the chine and soft in the transom

F                       C
I love her well and she must love me

      G                      C
But I think it's only for my money

          F              C
No more tobacco, no more cheese

    G                      C
I'm sprung in the back and lame in the knees

       F                     C
It's a damned good thing I'm easy to please

            G                    C
There ain't nothing in town on a Sunday

        G              C
I don't care, man, I'm happy

         F                   C
I got an old fat boat, she's slow but handsome

G                     C
Hard in the chine and soft in the transom

F                       C
I love her well and she must love me

      G                      C
But I think it's only for my money

      F                         C
And I don't mind staying, and I don't mind going

      G                  C
But I come damn tired of rowing

       F                         C
Yes, I don't mind staying, and I don't mind going

      G                  C
But I come damn tired of rowing

        F              C
Oh, but I got milk and I got ice

         G                         C
A little home-made bread, a little old, but nice

F                    C
Everybody puts their cooking hat on

         G                              C
When you tell 'em you're leaving in the morning

        G              C
I don't care, man, I'm happy

         F                   C
I got an old fat boat, she's slow but handsome

G                     C
Hard in the chine and soft in the transom

F                       C
I love her well and she must love me

      G                      C
But I think it's only for my money

      F                         C
And I don't mind staying, and I don't mind going

      G                  C
But I come damn tired of rowing

       F                         C
Yes, I don't mind staying, and I don't mind going

      G                  C
But I come damn tired of rowing

          F             C
You know, I got coffee, I got tea

G                       C
I got the beans and the beans got me

F                C
I got tuna fish, I got rum

        G                  C
I got a two-pound splinter in my thumb

        F                    C
So I'll take my toddy and my vitamin C

        Dm                G
And the radio for my company

                                    C      F  G  C
Oh, me, I got the hydrogen peroxide blues

        G              C
I don't care, man, I'm happy

         F                   C
I got an old fat boat, she's slow but handsome

G                     C
Hard in the chine and soft in the transom

F                       C
I love her well and she must love me

      G                      C
But I think it's only for my money

      F                         C
And I don't mind staying, and I don't mind going

      G                  C
But I come damn tired of rowing

       F                         C
Yes, I don't mind staying, and I don't mind going

      G                  C
But I come damn tired of rowing

     F               C
Well mercy, mercy, I do declare

   G                            C
If half the fun of going is the getting there

F                 C
Mercy, Percy, you better start rowing

           G                              C
'Cause the other half of getting there is going
