Old Fat Boat Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[C]

[VERSE]
Here I am, man, [F]all alone a[C]gain
Anchored a[G]weigh, the hell and [C]gone again
Another [F]mile from another [C]town
The [G]wind north-east, the [C]rain coming down
[F]Home is the sailor, [C]home from the sea
Leave the [G]home for the mildew, friend to the [C]flea

[CHORUS 1]
I don't [G]care, man, I'm [C]happy
I got an [F]old fat boat, she's [C]slow but handsome
[G]Hard in the chine and [C]soft in the transom
[F]I love her well and she [C]must love me
But I [G]think it's only for my [C]money

[VERSE]
No more to[F]bacco, no more [C]cheese
I'm [G]sprung in the back and [C]lame in the knees
It's a [F]damned good thing I'm [C]easy to please
There ain't [G]nothing in town on a [C]Sunday

[CHORUS 1]
I don't [G]care, man, I'm [C]happy
I got an [F]old fat boat, she's [C]slow but handsome
[G]Hard in the chine and [C]soft in the transom
[F]I love her well and she [C]must love me
But I [G]think it's only for my [C]money

[CHORUS 2]
And I [F]don't mind staying, and I [C]don't mind going
But I [G]come damn tired of [C]rowing
Yes, I [F]don't mind staying, and I [C]don't mind going
But I [G]come damn tired of [C]rowing

[VERSE]
Oh, but [F]I got milk and [C]I got ice
A little [G]home-made bread, a little [C]old, but nice
[F]Everybody puts their [C]cooking hat on
When you [G]tell 'em you're leaving in the [C]morning

[CHORUS 1]
I don't [G]care, man, I'm [C]happy
I got an [F]old fat boat, she's [C]slow but handsome

I got a [G]two-pound splinter [C]in my thumb

So I'll [F]take my toddy and my [C]vitamin C
And the [Dm]radio for my compa[G]ny
Oh, me, I got the hydrogen peroxide [C]blues [F] [G] [C]
