INTRO: [Gb]
VERSE 1:
[Gb] We come on the Sloop John B, my grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we do
[Db] roam
Drinking all
[Gb] night, got into a
[B] fight
Well I
[Gb] feel so broke up,
[Db] I wanna go
[Gb] home
CHORUS:
[Gb] So hoist up the John B's sail, see how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go
[Db] home
Let me go
[Gb] home, I wanna go
[B] home, yeah yeah
Well I
[Gb] feel so broke up,
[Db] I wanna go
[Gb] home
VERSE 2:
[Gb] The first mate he got drunk, and broke in the Captain's trunk
The constable had to come and take him a-
[Db]-way
Sheriff John
[Gb] Stone, why don't you leave me a-
[B]-lone, yeah yeah,
Well I
[Gb] feel so broke up,
[Db] I wanna go
[Gb] home
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
[Gb] The poor cook he caught the fits, and threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my
[Db] corn
Let me go
[Gb] home, why don't they let me go
[B] home
[Gb] This is the worst trip,
[Db] I've ever been
[Gb] on
REPEAT CHORUS:
