{c:CHORUS:}
I[C]f I[C/Bbass] had a b[G]oat, I'd [C]go out[C/Bbass] on the o[G]cean
And [C]if I[C/Bbass] had a p[G]ony, I'd r[G]ide him on my [D/F#bass]boat
And [C]we coul[C/Bbass]d all tog[G]ether, [C]go out[C/Bbass] on the [G]ocean
Just [G]me upon my[D/F#bass] pony on my [G]boat

And [G]if I were Roy Rogers, I'd s[C]ure [C/Bbass]enough be s[G]ingle
I couldn't b[G]ring myself to marryin' old [D/F#bass]Dale
It'd j[G]ust be me & Trigger; we'd go r[C]idin' [C/Bbass]through them m[G]ovies
And we'd b[G]uy a boat and[D/F#bass] on the sea we'd sail

{c:Chorus}

Well, the mystery masked man was smart, he got himself a Tonto
Cuz Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto, he was smarter, and one day said Kemosabe
You can kiss my ass, I bought a boat, I'm headed out to sea

{c:Chorus}
{c:instrumental break}

And if I were like light'ning, I wouldn't need no sneakers
Well, I'd come and go whenever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shady tree, 'n scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea

{c:Chorus}

Just [G]me upon my [D/F#bass]pony on my [G]boat[C][G][D][G]
