[Verse]

   G6                     Cadd9 Em7/B     G6
If I were Roy Rogers, I'd sure  enough be single
           G6                           Dsus2/F#
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
     G6                              Cadd9  Em7/B        G6
It'd just be me and Trigger, we'd go riding through them movies
          G6             Dsus2/F#        G6
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail

[Chords]

Cadd9  Em7/B   G6
If  I  had  a  boat
     Cadd9    Em7/B    G6
I'd  go  out  on  the  ocean
    Cadd9  Em7/B   G6
And if  I  had  a  pony
    Em7            Dsus2/F#
I'd ride him on my boat
    Cadd9      Em7/B  G6
And we  could  all  together
Cadd9    Em7/B    G6
Go  out  on  the  ocean
G6         Dsus2/F#   G6
Me upon my pony on my boat

[Verse]

G6
The mystery masked man was smart
Cadd9 Em7/B     G6
He got himself a Tonto
G6                   Em7            Dsus2/F#
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
Cadd9   Em7/B     G6
But Tonto he was smarter
Cadd9   Em7/B     G6
And one day said kemo sabe
G6
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
Dsus2/F#          G6
I'm going out to sea

[Chorus]

Cadd9  Em7/B   G6
If  I  had  a  boat
     Cadd9    Em7/B    G6
I'd  go  out  on  the  ocean
    Cadd9  Em7/B   G6
And if  I  had  a  pony
    Em7            Dsus2/F#
I'd ride him on my boat
    Cadd9      Em7/B  G6
And we  could  all  together
Cadd9    Em7/B    G6
Go  out  on  the  ocean
G6         Dsus2/F#   G6
Me upon my pony on my boat

[Verse]

G6
And if I were like lightning
Cadd9      Em7/B   G6
I wouldn't need no sneakers
Em7                              Dsus2/F#
I'd come and go wherever I would please
        Cadd9    Em7/B   G6
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree
       Cadd9    Em7/B   G6
And I'd scare 'em by the light pole
G6                       Dsus2/F#                   G6
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea

[Chorus]

Cadd9  Em7/B   G6
If  I  had  a  boat
     Cadd9    Em7/B    G6
I'd  go  out  on  the  ocean
    Cadd9  Em7/B   G6
And if  I  had  a  pony
    Em7            Dsus2/F#
I'd ride him on my boat
    Cadd9      Em7/B  G6
And we  could  all  together
Cadd9    Em7/B    G6
Go  out  on  the  ocean
G6         Dsus2/F#   G6
