[G] [A] [Dm] [A]

[D] We came on the Sloop John B, my grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we [A] did roam, drinking [D] all night
Got into [G] a fight, [D] well I feel so broke [A] up, I wanna [D] go home
So hoist up the John B sail, see how the main sail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let [A] me go home, let [D] me go home
I wanna [G] go home, yeah yeah, well I [D] feel so broke [A] up, I wanna [D] go home
The first mate he got drunk, and broke in the captain's trunk
The constable had to come and take [A] him away
Sheriff [D] Johnstone, why don't [G] you leave me alone?
Yeah yeah, well [D] I feel so broke [A] up, I wanna [D] go home
So hoist up the John B sail, see how the main sail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me [A] go home, let me go home
I [Em] wanna [D] go home, why don't you let me [G] go home?
[Gm] I
[D] feel so broke up, [A] I wanna [D] go home
The poor cook he caught the fits, and threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up [A] all of my corn
Let me [D] go home, why don't you let me [G] go home?
[C]
[D] This is the worst game [A] I've ever [D] been on
So hoist up the John B sail, see how the main sail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me [Em] go [A] home, let me [D] go home
I [G] wanna go home, [Gm] well [D] I feel so broke up, [A] I wanna [D] go home
[Em] [A]
