Spoken by Jerry Jeff:
Well, there I am in Mexico, man,
I'm sittin' on a big hot rock------with the blues,
Watchin' this sailboat drive by, and I'm wonderin', "Where's mine?"
Hell, I know where there's ship in a bottle,
I mean a schooner with a worm on board, yeah.
Chorus:
G* I think I'm gonna go off sailing G I think I'm gonna go off sailing G bass line: G B Am7 I think I'm gonna go off sail ing Gflat G G Cause I've been on dry land too long G Something I seen here seems to make me seasick G Something I seen here seems to make me seasick G bass line: G B Am7 Something I seen here seems to make me sea sick Dm7 G G And I been on dry land too long
(Roll on)
Chorus
Leeches, land sharks, octopusses make my bwain hurt
Land sharks, octopusses make my bwain hurt
Yea, and I've been on dry land too long
(Ship in a bottle)
Chorus
(Sail on, sail on)
Chorus
(Let's carry on)
Chorus
(I need a ship in a bottle)
Chorus
*The song may very well be in E, since it seems tuned about half-way between
B and G.
