[E] Well _ [B] _ _ it was day number three at sea _ [A] and I was drinking Long Island's iced tea.

_ _ [B] _ I [E] started thinking how to make my play.
_ I'm [A] trying to figure something slick to say.
Well [B] she walked right up and told me that she [E] took my style. _
_ _ _ Well she kinda called me un-old well.

She just [Bm] reached down and led me through her cabin just like [Em] I was a child.
