The John B Sails

E

[Verse 1]
E
We come on the sloop John B
E
My grandfather and me
E                         B7
'Round Nassau town we did roam
             E  E7
Drinking all night
              A
We got into a fight
  E
I feel so brake up
  B       E
I wana go home

[Chorus]
E
So hoist up the John B's sail
E
See how the mainsail sets
E
Send for the Captain ashore
          B7              E E7
Let me go home, let me go home
          A Am
Let me go home
  E
I feel so brake up
  B        E
I wanna go home

[Verse 2]
E
First mate he got drunk
E
And broke in the people's trunk
E                                 
The constable had to come and take
     B7
 him away
             E    E7
Sheriff John Stone
              A Am
Please let me alone
  E
I feel so brake up
  B        E
I wanna go home

[Chorus]
E
So hoist up the John B's sail
E
See how the mainsail sets
E
Send for the Captain ashore
          B7              E E7
Let me go home, let me go home
          A Am
Let me go home
  E
I feel so brake up
  B        E
I wanna go home

[Verse 3]
E
Poor cook he caught the fits
E
And threw away all my grits
E                                 
Then he took and he ate up all of 
   B7
my corn
             E    E7
Sheriff John Stone
              A Am
Please let me alone
     E
This is the worst trip
      B         E
Since I've been born

[Chorus]
E
So hoist up the John B's sail
E
See how the mainsail sets
E
Send for the Captain ashore
          B7              E E7
Let me go home, let me go home
          A Am
Let me go home
  E
I feel so brake up
  B        E
I wanna go home
     E
This is the worst trip
      B         E
Since I've been born
