INTRO: [Db]

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

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

REPEAT CHORUS:
