Sloop John B

We [D]come on the sloop John B,

My grandfather and me

Around Nassau town we did [A]roam

Drinking all [D]night, Got into a [G]fight

Well I [D]feel so break up, [A]I want to go [D]home

————————————–

So [D]hoist up the John B’s sail

See how the mainsail sets,

Call for the captain ashore

Let me go [A]home, let me go [D]home

I wanna go [G]home, (yeah yeah)

Well I [D]feel so break up [A]I wanna go [D]home

————————————

The [D]first mate he got drunk,

And broke in the capn’s trunk

The constable had to come and take him a[A]way

Sheriff John [D]Stone, Why don’t you leave me a[G]lone, (yeah yeah)

Well I [D]feel so break up I [A]wanna go [D]home

——————————————–

So [D]hoist up the John B’s sail,

See how the mainsail sets

Call for the captain ashore, Let me go [A]home,

let me go [D]home, I wanna go [G]home, (yeah yeah)

Well I [D]feel so break up, [A]I wanna go [D]home

The [D]poor cook he caught the fits,

And threw away all my grits

And then he took and he ate up all of my [A]corn
