As recorded by The Hollies (From the 1970 Album CONFESSIONS OF THE MIND - CD REISSUE BONUS TRACK) [Intro] D G D G D G A D N.C. [Verse 1]
D             G
Standing by a riverside

                    D
A river so deep and so wide

                         G
Current's too strong for only one man

  A              D
I know because I tried
[Verse 2]
D
I got eight oars -

        G
Four on either side

                 D
Is there anybody with me

                 G
Eight hands four willing hearts

A                    D
Won't someone answer my plea
[Chorus]
       G
Well I got in the boat

  D
I stayed afloat

A                     D
Some way across I was tiring

       G               D
Well I need someone to help me

   A                D
To get to the other side
[Verse 3]
D                    G
Along came son of Alabama south

                     D
He said "I heard you calling

                             G
If you don't mind the colour of my skin

     A                    D
I'll help you not to fall in"
[Verse 4]
D                             G
Then suddenly Joe from out of Tokyo

                           D
"If my eyes don't make you nervous

                        G
I used to handle a junk back home"

A                 D
Said 'Can I be of service'
[Chorus]
        G
Well we got in the boat

   D
We stayed afloat

A                      D
Halfway across we were tiring

          G               D
We got to row this boat together

   A                D
To get to the other side
[Guitar Solo] D G A D G A D [Verse 5]
D
Two more oars

     G
Only one seat left

                   D
One more person to lean on

                        G
A brotherhood boat to a land called home

A                 D
With our share of freedom
[Chorus]
   G
We got in the boat

D
Stayed afloat

A                     D
There's no need to be tiring

   G                 D
We rowed this boat together

     A                    D
Happiness meets the other side

   G                 D
We rowed this boat together

     A                    D
Happiness meets the other side

   G                 D
We rowed this boat together

      A                   D
Happiness meets the other side
