If I Had A Boat

Karen Elson


Tom: A

F#m    E       A
If  I  had  a  boat
     F#m      E        A
I'd  go  out  on  the  ocean
    F#m    E       A
And if  I  had  a  pony
    A              E
I'd ride him on my boat
    F#m        E      A
And we  could  all  together
F#m      E        A
Go  out  on  the  ocean
       A          E          A
I said me upon my pony on my boat


[Verse 1]
    A                         F#m    E        A
And if I were Roy Rogers, I'd sure  enough be single
           A                            E
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
     A                               F#m    E            A
It'd just be me and Trigger, we'd go riding through them movies
          A                     E        A
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail


[Chorus]
F#m    E       A
If  I  had  a  boat
     F#m      E        A
I'd  go  out  on  the  ocean
    F#m    E       A
And if  I  had  a  pony
    A              E
I'd ride him on my boat
    F#m        E      A
And we  could  all  together
F#m      E        A
Go  out  on  the  ocean
       A          E          A
I said me upon my pony on my boat


[Verse 2]
     A                                F#m     E      A
The mystery masked man was smart.  He got himself a Tonto
  A                                  E
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
     A                            F#m       E    A
But Tonto he was smarter, and one day said "Kemosabe,
A                               E            A
Kiss my ass I bought a boat I'm going out to sea"


[Chorus]
F#m    E       A
If  I  had  a  boat
     F#m      E        A
I'd  go  out  on  the  ocean
    F#m    E       A
And if  I  had  a  pony
    A              E
I'd ride him on my boat
    F#m        E      A
And we  could  all  together
F#m      E        A
Go  out  on  the  ocean
       A          E          A
I said me upon my pony on my boat


[Solo]
F#m  E  A
F#m  E  A
F#m  E  A
A    E


[Verse 3]
     A                         F#m       E       A
And if I were like lightning I wouldn't need no sneakers
     A                            E
I'd come and go wherever I would please
         A                                  F#m       E      A
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree and I'd scare 'em by the light pole
      A                             E               A
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea


[Chorus]
F#m    E       A
If  I  had  a  boat
     F#m      E        A
I'd  go  out  on  the  ocean
    F#m    E       A
And if  I  had  a  pony
    A              E
I'd ride him on my boat
    F#m        E      A
And we  could  all  together
F#m      E        A
Go  out  on  the  ocean
       A          E          A
I said me upon my pony on my boat
       A          E          A
I said me upon my pony on my boat
