[Verse 1]

C                    Csus4 C              Csus4 C
We come on the Sloop John B, my grandfather and me.
                           G7 - G7sus4 - G7
Around Nassau town we did roam,
             C - C7                F
Drinking all night, Got into a fight,
       C                 G7         C
Well I feel so break up, I wanta go home.


[Chorus]

C                      Csus4 - C            Csus4 - C
So hoist up the John B sail, see how the mains'l sets,
                                       G7
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home.
          C                F
Let me go home, I wanta go home,
       C                 G7         C
Well I feel so break up, I wanta go home.
