Jimmy Buffet - Somethin' 'Bout A Boat
Tabbed by: rabidGadfly
------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
E
[Verse]
A
Somethin' 'bout a boat
E
Sittin' on the sea
B
Out there in the wind
E
Floatin' on the free
A
Take you 'round the world
E C#m
Bring you back home
E B
Gives a man hope
E
Somethin' 'bout a boat
[Verse]
A
Somethin' 'bout an old guitar
E
And the way it still sings
B
After all the smokey bars
E
And the broken strings
A
Played a million songs
E C#m
Broke a lot of hearts
E B
Made some people stars
E
Somethin' 'bout an old guitar
[Chorus]
A
Ain't it crazy how somethin'
E
Seems like nothin' at all
B
Take a big old room
E E7
Make it seem so small
A Am E C#m
Seein' windows where there are walls
E B
Makes a whole lot of something
E
Out of nothin' at all
[Verse]
A
Somethin' 'bout your dog
E
Sittin' by your side
B
If you had a bad day
E
She ain't gonna run and hide
A
Just a-waggin' that tail
E C#m
Grinnin' that grin
E B
Somethin' 'bout my dog
E
Makes her my best friend
[Chorus]
A
Ain't it crazy how somethin'
E
Seems like nothin' at all
B
Take a big old room
E E7
Make it seem so small
A Am E C#m
Seein' windows where there are walls
E B
Makes a whole lot of something
E
Out of nothin' at all
E B
Makes a whole lot of something
E
Out of nothin' at all
[Outro]
A
Somethin' 'bout a dog
E
Somethin' 'bout an old guitar
B
Somethin' 'bout a boat
A B B A E
That gives a man hope
