Sloop John B                            Beach Boys

We [C] come on the sloop [F] John [C] B

My [C] grandfather [F] and [C] me

Around Nassau town we did [G7] roam

Drinking all [C] night [C7] got into a [F] fight [Dm]

Well I [C] feel so broke up [G7] I want to go [C] home

Chorus:

The [C] first mate he [F] got [C] drunk

And broke in the cap[F]tain’s [C] trunk

The constable had to come and take him a[G7]way

Sheriff John [C] Stone [C7]

Why don’t you leave me a[F]lone, yeah [Dm] yeah

Well I [C] feel so broke up [G7] I wanna go [C] home

Chorus

The [C] poor cook he caught [F] the [C] fits

And threw away all [F] my [C] grits

And then he took and he ate up all of my [G7] corn

Let me go [C] home [C7]

Why don’t they let me go [F] home [Dm]

This [C] is the worst trip [G7] I’ve ever been [C] on
