VERSE 1:
[A] We come on the Sloop John B, my grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we do [E] roam
Drinking all [A] night, got into a [D] fight
Well I [A] feel so broke up, [E] I wanna go [A] home

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

VERSE 2:
[A] The first mate he got drunk, and broke in the Captain's trunk
The constable had to come and take him a-[E]-way
Sheriff John [A] Stone, why don't you leave me a-[D]-lone, yeah yeah,
Well I [A] feel so broke up, [E] I wanna go [A] home

REPEAT CHORUS:

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

REPEAT CHORUS:
