G Am7 G/B C Ol' Joe's got a Boston whaler He bought in Key Biscane He swears since the day he's got her She's been nothing but a pain Am When the sun's at his back And the winds in his face D It's just him and the wheel Am He wouldn't take a million for the D Way it makes him feel Chorus: G C Boats G C Vessels of freedom G D Harbors of healing C Boats Newport is where John hung his hat Till he lost his wife Jo Now forty feet of sail antique Is where Ol' John calls home He watched his life pass before his eyes In the middle of a hurricane Came out alive on the other side That's where "the other side" got its name Chorus Twenty years of a landlocked job Was all that tom could take Sitting at his desk All alone and depressed Says this just can't be my fate Went home that night and told his wife You can tell all of your friends It's been real but it ain't been fun Gonna get us one of them Chorus Vessels of freedom Boats | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsAm Am7 C D G B |
