If I Had a Boat by Lyle Lovett
Capo 9.
[Intro]
G6 G6 Cadd9 Em7/B G6 G6 Dsus2/F# G6
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
If I had a boat
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
I'd go out on the ocean
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
And if I had a pony
Em7 Dsus2/F#
I'd ride him on my boat
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
And we could all together
Cadd9 Em7/B G6
Go out on the ocean
G6 Dsus2/F# G6
Me upon my pony on my boat
G6 Cadd9 Em7/B G6
If I were Roy Rogers, I'd sure enough be single
G6 Dsus2/F#
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
G6 Cadd9 Em7/B G6
It'd just be me and Trigger, we'd go riding through them movies
G6 Dsus2/F# G6
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail
[Chorus]
The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea
[Chorus]
And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
I'd come and go wherever I would 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]
Personally, I also think it sounds good if you play Cadd9 as: 032000
and played Em7 as Em7/B if your hands are too big to play Cadd9 and Em7 while capo-ing the 9th fret.
