[Chorus]
C                                  F
Well, I'm building a houseboat in heaven

   G                       C
To sail them deep and holy seas

          C                        F
Well, I'm building a houseboat in heaven

         G                                C
And it's welcome aboard your sweet, sweet peace
[Verse 1]
        C                          F
Oh, the bow, she is made of solid silver

        G                          C
And the hull, she is made of solid gold

         C                                F
Now, she ain't too much along the lines a-floating

          G                           C
But she's yours, babe, to have and to hold
[Break] C F G C C F G C [Verse 2]
  C                     F
I rode my old guitar to heaven

       G                                C
Ah but heaven didn't feel too much like home

       C                              F
So I'm headed out on to them lonesome oceans

      G                         C
In my ruby-studded houseboat to roam
[Chorus]
C                                  F
Well, I'm building a houseboat in heaven

   G                       C
To sail them deep and holy seas

          C                        F
Well, I'm building a houseboat in heaven

         G                                C
And it's welcome aboard your sweet, sweet peace
[Chorus]
C                                  F
Well, I'm building a houseboat in heaven

   G                       C
To sail them deep and holy seas

          C                        F
Well, I'm building a houseboat in heaven

         G                                C
And it's welcome aboard your sweet, sweet peace
