[G] [E] [A] [E] [B]
[E] Marilyn Monroe was so tired, so tired, so tired
She's a city girl lost in the field of right
You see what she has done
[A] And now she's out on [E] a boat on the ocean
Turning around and around
[Am] Sail [E] for her dress and her hand on her breast
Out on the roiley sea, out on the roiley sea
John Wayne was so sick, [E] he was so sick, he was a prick
She's a cowboy lost in the long steel hall
You see what he has done
Now [A]
he's out [E] on a boat on the ocean
Turning around and around
[A]
[E] Lashed to the mast and the three head lashed
[B] Out [F#m] on the roiley [Em] sea, [F#m] [B] out on [E] the roiley sea
[A] [E]
Elvis Presley was so [E] fat
They gave him all that just to stand past
He's a jaguar lost in the living room
You see what he has done
[A] Now he's out on a boat [E] on the ocean
Turning around and around
[Am] Dolphins gather [E] to hear him moan
Out on the roiley sea, out on the roiley sea
[A] Will you rock [E] the boat, Mr.
Presley
Will [B] you let us see [E] you miss Monroe
[A] We can save us [E] Mr.
[B] Waysir
We've come so [E] far, go back along
We've come [A] so far
[E] [A] [E] [A]
[E] [A]
[E] All the long ships are sailing away
With one little candle to light the way
Until they come to a place where the sun goes down
They [B] all start [E] turning around
They all start turning around
[Em] They all start [B] turning [E] around
[A] [E] [A] [E] [Em]
