  If I Had a Boat

  Lyle Lovett

  

  This is my take on the song; a fairly pared-down version without some of

  the fancier embellishments. Corrections are welcome!

  

  I wrote this out in 10 pt. Courier, so it might help you to view it the same.

  Chords:

  

  string  eadGBE

  G6              320030

  Csus2   x30030

  G/B             x20030

  Em7             002030

  Dsus2/F#        200230

  

  Capo 9 (I play capo 7 'cuz I can't sing up where Lyle does)

  

  Intro:

  

  G6                                                  Csus2   G/B G6

  ------0---------|------0---------|0-------0-------|------0---------|

  ----------------|----------------|----0-------0---|----------------|

  ----2-------2---|----2-------2---|3-------2-------|----2-------2---|

  3-------3-------|3-------3-------|----------------|3-------3-------|

  repeat

  

  then this little bit right before the chorus starts:

  

  ----------0-----|----------0-----|

  ----3-----------|----3-----------|

  ----0---------0-|----0---------0-|

  ----0-----------|----0-----------|

  ----2-------2---|----2-------2---|

  Chorus:

  

  Csus2   G/B       G6                        Csus2       G/B             G6

  3-------2-------|----2-------2---|3-------2-------|----2-------2---|

  ----------------|3-------3-------|----------------|3-------3-------|

  And if I had a    boat            I'd go out on the ocean

  

  Csus2   G/B        G6                   Em7                     Dsus2/F#

  3-------2-------|----2-------2---|----------------|----------------|

  ----------------|3-------3-------|0-------0-------|2-------2-------|

  And if I had a    pony            I'd ride him on my boat

  

  Csus2   G/B       G6                        Csus2       G/B             G6

  ----0-------0---|----------------|----0-------0---|----------------|

  3-------2-------|----2-------2---|3-------2-------|----2-------2---|

  ----------------|3-------3-------|----------------|3-------3-------|

  And we could all together         go out on the     ocean

  

  Csus2                Dsus2/F#         G6

  3-------3-------|----------------|----2-------2---|----2-------2---|

  ----------------|2-------2-------|3-------3-------|3-------3-------|

  me upon my       pony  on  my     boat

  

  Csus2               G/B     G6                  Csus2      G/B     G6

  Now the mystery masked man was smarter, he got himself a Tonto

  

  Csus2                Em7            Dsus2/F#

  'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free

  

  Csus2    G/B     G6             Csus2        G/B   G6

  But Tonto he was smarter, and one day said Kemosabe,

  

  Csus2                Em7            Dsus2/F#      G6

  "Kiss my ass, I bought a boat, I'm going out to sea"

  

  Chorus

  

  Now if I were Roy Rogers, I'd sure enough be single,

  Couldn't bring myself to marryin' no Dale,

  Well it'd just be me and Trigger, we'd go riding through them movies,

  And we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail.

  

  Chorus

  

  Now if I were like lightning, I wouldn't need no sneakers,

  Well I'd come and go whenever I did please,

  And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree, and I'd scare 'em by the light pole,

  But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea.

  

  Chorus
