D
I'm floating in my boat

Not the one I used to fish in

But the boat I sit in wishin'
                           A
I was still floating on my fishing boat
    D
And I'm out here on this river
G                  D
Really it's just a creek
           G            D
But it's a river when I drink
                            A
So I'm drinking on my river boat

[Bridge]
        D
I could sail to the ocean

If the wind would come and get me
    A
But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly
    D
I'm just a drunkin' sailor
             G
Waiting on a gale
       D                      A            D
With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale

Aye

Aye


D
An old pirate sold me on it
   G                D
We traded straight across

The boat I thought I wanted
                      A
For the boat I hate I lost
       D
She'll sing when that wind whistles
         G                D
When it doesn't, well she don't
  G               D
Just ask that old pirate
       A
That's floatin' on my river boat

[Chorus]
        D
I could sail to the ocean

If the wind would come and get me
    A
But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly
    D
I'm just a drunkin' sailor
             G
Waiting on a gale
       D                      A            D
With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale

[Bridge]
Bm           A                    G               A
Never make a handshake deal while sharing someone bottle
G                         A
Never buy a boat son that doesn't have a throttle


Bm  A   G
Aye

Bm  A   G
Aye

        D
I could sail to the ocean

If the wind would come and get me
    A
But I ain't goin' nowhere quickly
    D
I'm just a drunkin' sailor
             G
Waiting on a gale
       D                      A            D
With a drink in my hand and a sailboat for sale

        G            D
I got a sailboat for sale


Bm  A   G
Aye
