[G#] We come on the Sloop John B, my grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we do

Drinking all
[G#] night, got into a
[C#] fight
Well I
[G#] feel so broke up,
[D#] I wanna go
[G#] home

[G#] So hoist up the John B's sail, see how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go
[D#] home
Let me go
[G#] home, I wanna go
[C#] home, yeah yeah
Well I
[G#] feel so broke up,
[D#] I wanna go
[G#] home

[G#] The first mate he got drunk, and broke in the Captain's trunk
The constable had to come and take him a-
[D#]-way
Sheriff John

[G#] feel so broke up,
[D#] I wanna go
[G#] home
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
[G#] The poor cook he caught the fits, and threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my
[D#] corn
Let me go
[G#] home, why don't they let me go
[C#] home
[G#] This is the worst trip,
[D#] I've ever been
[G#] on
REPEAT CHORUS:
