Leaky Little Boat

A D E I awake from a long, deep sleep A D E In a leaky little boat on a wide blue sea F#m D E I spy no island, rock or shore A D E And the sea, she’s a-comin’ to me through a hole in the floor D A E And the tide come in and the tide go out D A E And the waves they come toss my little boat about F#m D E And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue A D E I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too - Just a leaky little boat | A A D E | A A D | This is the same as the first part of the verses. It is strummed up-down-up on the A's D's. E can be just one stroke. This fill is played over these chords and comes up more throughout the song with variations. VERSE: | A A D E | A A D | F#m F#m D E | A A D | The verse is strummed the same way as the above part. Up-down-up on the A's, D's, and one strum on the E's. And as I wake I look around I have no notion where I’m bound So many different colored boats I see Are all leaky, lonely and driftin’ Just like me D A E And the tide come in and the tide go out D A E And the waves they come toss my little boat about F#m D E And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue A D E I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too - Just a leaky little boat F#m D E I spy no island rock or shore F#m D E I spy no island rock or shore F#m D I spy no island shore E And the sea keeps a-comin’ to me through a hole in the floor - Of my leaky little boat A D E Alone, adrift, together are we A D E Slowly sinkin’ in a deep blue sea F#m But we smile and we wave D E And we say, “I’m afraid…and I love you…and here we go…” D A E And the tide come in and the tide go out D A E And the waves they come toss my little boat about F#m D E And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue A D E I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too - Just a leaky little boat At the end the music stops then there is just a rhythmic tap on the dummer's high hat a few seconds. Then the guitar comes in with something like this: | E A D A D | Repeated several times
