Chorus
[F] If I had a [C] boat
I'd [F] go out on the [C] ocean
And [F] if I had a [C] pony
I'd [Am] ride him on my [G] boat
And [F] we could all to- [C] gether
[F] Go out on the [C] ocean
I said [C] me upon my [G] pony on my [C] boat
[C] If I were Roy Rogers
I'd [F] sure enough be [C] single
I couldn't [C] bring myself to marrying old [G] Dale
It'd [C] just be me and Trigger
We'd go [F] riding through them [C] movies
Then we'd [C] buy a boat and [G] on the sea we'd [C] sail
Chorus
[F] If I had a [C] boat
I'd [F] go out on the [C] ocean
And [F] if I had a [C] pony
I'd [Am] ride him on my [G] boat
And [F] we could all to- [C] gether
[F] Go out on the [C] ocean
I said [C] me upon my [G] pony on my [C] boat
The [C] mystery masked man was smart
He [F] got himself a [C] Tonto
'Cause [C] Tonto did the dirty work for [G] free
But [C] Tonto he was smarter
And one [F] day said Kemo [C] Sabe
[C] Kiss my ass I bought a boat, I'm [G] going out to [C] sea
Chorus
[F] If I had a [C] boat
I'd [F] go out on the [C] ocean
And [F] if I had a [C] pony
I'd [Am] ride him on my [G] boat
And [F] we could all to- [C] gether
[F] Go out on the [C] ocean
I said [C] me upon my [G] pony on my [C] boat
Instrumental
| [F] | [C] | [F] | [C] |
| [F] | [C] | [Am] | [G] |
And [C] if I were like lightning
I [F] wouldn't need no [C] sneakers
I'd [C] come and go wherever I would [G] please
And I'd [C] scare 'em by the shade tree
And I'd [F] scare 'em by the [C] light pole
But I [C] would not scare my pony on my [G] boat out on the [C] sea
Chorus
[F] If I had a [C] boat
I'd [F] go out on the [C] ocean
And [F] if I had a [C] pony
I'd [Am] ride him on my [G] boat
And [F] we could all to- [C] gether
[F] Go out on the [C] ocean
I said [C] me upon my [G] pony on my [C] boat
I said [C] me upon my [G] pony on my [C] boat
