[E] We come on the Sloop John B, my grandfather and me

Call for the Captain ashore, let me go

[E] feel so broke up,
[B] I wanna go
[E] home

[B] I wanna go
[E] home

[E] The poor cook he caught the fits, and threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my

Let me go

[A] home
[E] This is the worst trip,
[B] I've ever been
[E] on
