Where The Boat Leaves From
By The Zac Brown Band
Capo 2
[Intro]
  E    B7    E    A    E    B7Repeat
[Chorus 1]
EThere's a place, 
Where the boat leaves from
It takes away, all of your big pBroblems
You got Eworries you can drop them in the Ablue ocean
EBut you gotta get away to where tBhe boat leaves Efrom
ETake one part sand, and one part sea, one part shade of Ba banana tree
The drinks they're cold and the reggae is hot
And I know this is the place for Eme
[Chorus 2]
ESo get away
To where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big pBroblems
You got Eworries you can drop them in the Ablue ocean
EBut you gotta get away to where tBhe boat leaves Efrom
[Instrumental interlude]
ESee the problem is that you're out there
And there's a perfectly good island Bsomewhere
Where a ride that floats and don't grab your coats
You won't need them where we are Egoing
[Chorus 2]
ESo get away
To where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big pBroblems
You got Eworries you can drop them in the Ablue ocean
EBut you gotta get away to where tBhe boat leaves Efrom
EPick me up
Pick me upB  
         E   A-  E-  B-     E  
Pick me up
EPut me down (Down on the sand where its cool),
Put me down (And when I fall off my Bstool)
EPut me down
                                        A   E- B  
I'll just sleep there til morning comes around
(In 6/8 time)
EWith sunshine and ladies and pina colodas
and Bob Marley songs that are playingB  
There's a son in my ear that I want you to hear
Soft tropical lips that are Esingin'
[Chorus 3]
ESo get away
To where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big pBroblems
You got Eworries you can drop them in the Ablue ocean
EBut you gotta get away to where tBhe boat leaves Efrom
ESo get away
To where the boat leaves from
It takes away all of your big pBroblems
You got Eworries you can drop them in the Ablue ocean
EBut you gotta get away to where tBhe boat leaves Efrom

There's a place,

Where the boat leaves from

It takes away, all of your big problems

You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean

But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

Take one part sand, and one part sea, one part shade of a banana tree

The drinks they're cold and the reggae is hot

And I know this is the place for me

It takes away all of your big problems

See the problem is that you're out there

And there's a perfectly good island somewhere

Where a ride that floats and don't grab your coats

You won't need them where we are going
