[Intro]
G  D  A  D  D7
[Verse 1]
Something ’bout a boGat, sittin’ on the sDea
Out there in the wiAnd, floating on the fDree
It’ll take you ‘round the wGorld, bring you back hDomeBm  
Gives a man DhopAe, something ’bout a bDoat
[Verse 2]
Something ’bout an old Gguitar, the way it still riDngs
After all the smokey bAars, and the broken strDings
Played a million sGongs, stole a lot of heDartsBm  
Hid a lot of scaDrs, Asomething ’bout an old guiDtarD7  
[Chorus]
Ain’t it crazy how soGmething seems like nothin’ at aDll
Take a big old woArld and makes it seem so sDmallD7  
You’ll see wGindows where there were waDllsD7  
Makes a whole lot of Dsomething out oAf nothing at aDll
[Interlude]
G  D  A  D  D7
[Verse 3]
Something ‘bout a Gdog, then he’s sitting at your siDde
When you’ve had a bad dAay, he won’t run and hDide
He’s waggin’ that tGail, and grinning that gDrinBm  
Something ‘bout a DdogA, makes a man’s best friendD  
[Chorus]
DSomething ’bout a dGog, something ’bout an olDd guitar
Something ’bout a Aboat, that gives a man GhopAeD
