If I Had a Boat
Lyle Lovett

This is my take on the song; a fairly pared-down version without some of
the fancier embellishments. Corrections are welcome!

I wrote this out in 10 pt. Courier, so it might help you to view it the same.
Chords:

string eadGBE
G6 320030
Csus2 x30030
G/B x20030
Em7 002030
Dsus2/F# 200230

Capo 9 (I play capo 7 'cuz I can't sing up where Lyle does)
