SLOOP JOHN B
The Beach Boys
[ C] We come
on the Sloop John B,
My grandfather and me.
Around Nassau town we did [ G7] roam,
Drinking all [ C] night,
Got into a [F] fight,
Well I [ C] feel so
broke up, [G7] I wanta go [C] home.
So [ C] hoist
up the John B sail,
See how the mainsail sets,
Call for the captain ashore, let me go [ G7] home.
Let me go [ C] home,
I wanta go [F] home,
Well I [ C] feel so
broke up, [G7] I wanta go [C] home.
[ C] First Mate,
he got drunk,
Broke in the Captain's trunk,
Constable had to come and take him a-[ G7]-way.
Sheriff John [ C] Stone,
why don't you leave me a-[F]-lone?
Well I [ C] feel so
broke up, [G7] I wanta go [C] home.
So [ C] hoist
up the John B sail,
See how the mainsail sets,
Call for the captain ashore, let me go [ G7] home.
Let me go [ C] home,
I wanta go [F] home,
Well I [ C] feel so
broke up, [G7] I wanta go [C] home.
[ C] The poor
cook he caught the fits,
Threw away all my grits,
Then he took and ate up all of my [ G7] corn.
Let me go [ C] home,
I wanta go [F] home,
This [ C] is the worst
trip [G7] I've ever been [C] on.
So [ C] hoist
up the John B sail,
See how the mainsail sets,
Call for the captain ashore, let me go [ G7] home.
Let me go [ C] home,
I wanta go [F] home,
Well I [ C] feel so
broke up, [G7] I wanta go [C] home.
