 C  C/Bbass G        C     C/Bbass  G  
If I had a boat, I'd go out on the ocean
    C   C/Bbass G         C/Ebass       D/F#bass        
And if I had a pony, I'd ride him on my boat       (this first 'verse' 
    C      C/Bbass  G      C     C/Bbass G           turns out to be
And we could all together, go out on the ocean        the CHORUS)
     G         D/F#bass     G
Just me upon my pony on my boat


    G                          C   C/Bbass    G  
And if I were Roy Rogers, I'd sure enough be single
            G                           D/F#bass
I couldn't bring myself to marryin' old Dale
      G                             C     C/Bbass       G  
It'd just be me & Trigger; we'd go ridin' through them movies
          G            D/F#bass
And we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail

  (CHORUS)

Well, the mystery masked man was smart, he got himself a Tonto
Cuz Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto, he was smarter, and one day said Kemosabe
You can kiss my ass, I bought a boat, I'm headed out to sea

  (CHORUS)

(instrumental break)

And if I were like light'ning, I wouldn't need no sneakers
Well, I'd come and go whenever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shady tree, 'n scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea

  (CHORUS)

     G          D/F#bass    G   C G D G
Just me upon my pony on my boat
