If I Had A Boat Tab by Lyle Lovett

If I Had A Boat tab by Lyle Lovett

Guitar Tab 

If I Had a Boat
Lyle Lovett

This is my take on the song; a fairly pared-down version without some of
the fancier embellishments. Corrections are welcome!

I wrote this out in 10 pt. Courier, so it might help you to view it the same.
Chords:

string  eadGBE
G6              320030
Csus2   x30030
G/B             x20030
Em7             002030
Dsus2/F#        200230
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Capo 9 (I play capo 7 'cuz I can't sing up where Lyle does)
