Sloop John B - The Beach Boys (with lyrics) chords
Start Jamming...
[C] [Dbm]
[Ab] We come on this Luke John B, my grandfather and me
Around us our time we [Eb] did roam
Drinking [Ab] all night
Got into [Db] a fight
[Ab] Well, I feel so broke [Eb] up.
[Ab] I wanna go home
So I stopped the John B sail
See how the main sail set
Call for the captain ashore
Let me [Eb] go home
Let me [Ab] go home.
I wanna [Db] go home Yeah
[Bbm] Well, [Ab] I feel so broke up.
[Bbm] [Eb] I wanna [Ab] go home
The first mate he got drunk
Broke in the captain's drums
The constable had to come take him [Eb] away
Sheriff [Ab] John's gone
[Db]
Well, [Ab] I feel so broke [Db] up I [Eb] wanna [Ab] go home
See how the main sail set
Call for the captain ashore
Let me [Eb] go home
Let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna [Ab] go home
Let me go [Db] home
I feel
[Ab] so broke [Bbm] up
[Eb] I wanna [Ab] go home
I feel so broke up
Poor cook he caught the fish
Threw away on my grid
And then he took and he ate up all of my [Eb] corn
Let me go [Ab] home
Why don't they let me [Db] go home
[Bbm]
[Ab] This is the worst trip [Eb] I've ever [Ab] been on
Hoist up the John B
Hoist up the John B
See how the main sail set
See how the main sail set
Call for the captain ashore
Let me [Eb] go home
Let me go home
[Ab]
