Intro: A Bm D E (2x)


  A              Bm                D 
I know a boy who sailed around the world 
E                    A 
started off with his cat 
   Bm                  D 
he fell in love with a girl 
    E                    A 
now what do you think of that? 
     Bm           D 
they visited many lands 
    E                  A 
madagascar, tonga, and france 
    Bm               D 
but now he lives all alone 
     E              D 
in a rusty old houseboat 
          A 
and there floats 
B7             E 
out in the san pablo bay 
        D             A 
when he goes, I won't know 
B7                         E 
but she'll write him every day

todaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay 
  A        Bm             D 
today he's fishing in his spot 
    E            A 
but never a fish caught 
    Bm                D 
she brought him sandwiches 
    E               A 
and scared away the fish 
    Bm            D 
how could he understand 
        E            A 
she's a lover of the land 
       Bm           D 
he's a lover of the sea 
          E                    D 
they were lovers that couldn't be 
        A 
sailor, go 
B7                   E 
give her the time of day 
       D             A 
if you go, don't you know 
B7                     E 
she'll write you every day 
      D         A             D       A 
but I said it before and I'll say it again 
      D       A      E          A 
don't ever go out to sea with a friend 
  D         A             D       A 
I said it before and I'll say it again 
      D       A      E      A         D      
don't ever go out to sea without your pen
