Intro

I awake from a long, deep sleep

In a leaky little boat on a wide blue sea

I spy no island, rock or shore

And the sea, she’s a-comin’ to me through a hole in the floor

And the tide come in and the tide go out

And the waves they come toss my little boat about

And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue

I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too

-

Just a leaky little boat

This is the same as the first part of the verses. It is strummed up-down-up on the A's

D's. E can be just one stroke.

This fill is played over these chords and comes up more throughout the song with variations.

Verse

|

The verse is strummed the same way as the above part. Up-down-up on the A's, D's, and

one strum on the E's.

And as I wake I look around

I have no notion where I’m bound

So many different colored boats I see

Are all leaky, lonely and driftin’

Just like me

Chorus

And the tide come in and the tide go out

And the waves they come toss my little boat about

And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue

I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too

-

Just a leaky little boat

I spy no island rock or shore

I spy no island rock or shore

I spy no island shore

 And the sea keeps a-comin’ to me through a hole in the floor

-

Of my leaky little boat

Bridge

Alone, adrift, together are we

Slowly sinkin’ in a deep blue sea

But we smile and we wave

And we say, “I’m afraid

and I love you…and here we go…”

And the tide come in and the tide go out

And the waves they come toss my little boat about

And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue

I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too

-

Just a leaky little boat

At the end the music stops then there is just a rhythmic tap on the dummer's high hat

a few seconds. Then the guitar comes in with something like this:
