Tom: D
D G D G
D
I'm floating in my boat
Not the one I used to fish in
But the boat I sit in wishin'
A
I was still floating on my fishing boat
D
And I'm out here on this river
G D
Really it's just a creek
G D
But it's a river when I drink
A
So I'm drinking on my river boat
[Bridge]
D
I could sail to the ocean
If the wind would come and get me
A
But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly
D
I'm just a drunkin' sailor
G
Waiting on a gale
D A D
With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale
Bm A G
Aye
Bm A G
Aye
D
An old pirate sold me on it
G D
We traded straight across
The boat I thought I wanted
A
For the boat I hate I lost
D
She'll sing when that wind whistles
G D
When it doesn't, well she don't
G D
Just ask that old pirate
A
That's floatin' on my river boat
[Chorus]
D
I could sail to the ocean
If the wind would come and get me
A
But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly
D
I'm just a drunkin' sailor
G
Waiting on a gale
D A D
With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale
[Bridge]
Bm A G A
Never make a handshake deal while sharing someone bottle
G A
Never buy a boat son that doesn't have a throttle
Bm A G
Aye
Bm A G
Aye
D
I could sail to the ocean
If the wind would come and get me
A
But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly
D
I'm just a drunkin' sailor
G
Waiting on a gale
D A D
With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale
G D
I got a sailboat for sale
Bm A G
Aye
