INTRO
LA RE MI
I awake from a long, deep sleep
LA RE MI
In a leaky little boat on a wide blue sea
FA#m RE MI
I spy no island, rock or shore
LA RE MI
And the sea, she’s a-comin’ to me through a hole in the floor
RE LA MI
And the tide come in and the tide go out
RE LA MI
And the waves they come toss my little boat about
FA#m RE MI
And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue
LA RE MI
I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too
-
Just a leaky little boat
LA LA RE MI LA LA RE MI
This is the same as the first part of the verses. It is strummed up-down-up on the A's
D's. E can be just one stroke.
This fill is played over these chords and comes up more throughout the song with variations.

The verse is strummed the same way as the above part. Up-down-up on the A's, D's, and
one strum on the E's.
And as I wake I look around
I have no notion where I’m bound
So many different colored boats I see
Are all leaky, lonely and driftin’
Just like me
Chorus
RE LA MI
And the tide come in and the tide go out
RE LA MI
And the waves they come toss my little boat about
FA#m RE MI
And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue
LA RE MI
I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too
-
Just a leaky little boat
FA#m RE MI
I spy no island rock or shore
FA#m RE MI
I spy no island rock or shore
FA#m RE
I spy no island shore
MI
And the sea keeps a-comin’ to me through a hole in the floor
-
Of my leaky little boat
Bridge:
LA RE MI
Alone, adrift, together are we
LA RE MI
Slowly sinkin’ in a deep blue sea
FA#m
But we smile and we wave
RE MI
And we say, “I’m afraid…and I love you…and here we go…”
RE LA MI
And the tide come in and the tide go out
RE LA MI
And the waves they come toss my little boat about
FA#m RE MI
And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue
LA RE MI
I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too
-
Just a leaky little boat
LA LA RE MI LA LA RE MI FA#m FA#m RE MI LA LA RE MI----
At the end the music stops then there is just a rhythmic tap on the dummer's high hat
a few seconds. Then the guitar comes in with something like this:
| E A D A D | Repeated several times without lyrics.
