E
There's a place, 
Where the boat leaves from
                                B       
It takes away, all of your big problems
        E                               A
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
E                                B              E       
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

E                                                       B       
Take one part sand, and one part sea, one part shade of a banana tree
The drinks they're cold and the reggae is hot
                                E
And I know this is the place for me

[Chorus 2]
E
So get away
To where the boat leaves from
                               B
It takes away all of your big problems
        E                               A
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
E                                B              E  
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

[Instrumental interlude]

E                                    
See the problem is that you're out there
                                   B
And there's a perfectly good island somewhere
Where a ride that floats and don't grab your coats
                                 E
You won't need them where we are going

[Chorus 2]
E
So get away
To where the boat leaves from
                               B
It takes away all of your big problems
        E                               A
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
E                                B              E  
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

E
Pick me up
           B
Pick me up
E         A - E - B - E    
Pick me up

E
Put me down (Down on the sand where its cool),
                                    B 
Put me down (And when I fall off my stool)
E
Put me down
                          A              E - B
I'll just sleep there til morning comes around

(In 6/8 time)
E
With sunshine and ladies and pina colodas
                                     B
and Bob Marley songs that are playing
There's a son in my ear that I want you to hear
                            E 
Soft tropical lips that are singin'

[Chorus 3]
E
So get away
To where the boat leaves from
                               B
It takes away all of your big problems
        E                               A
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
E                                B              E  
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from

E
So get away
To where the boat leaves from
                               B
It takes away all of your big problems
        E                               A
You got worries you can drop them in the blue ocean
E                                B              E  
But you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from
