NOTE: I prefer to play this song without a capo and using barre chords
      as it sounds best played that way to the record. However, I have
      included a version with capo as well to make it easier to play.
      Please keep that in mind when playing and rating this tab.


                     I WAS ON A BOAT THAT DAY
                           OLD DOMINION

CAPO: 4th FRET

INTRO:
Yeah,  one, two,  one, two, three

B    C#m
B    C#m

VERSE:
     B
I remember it like it was yesterday
          C#m
`Cause it was
           B
And I was letting the sun and the rum
                C#m
Just do what it does


PRE-CHORUS:
            D#m
I threw my phone in the water
       D#m
Little push off the dock
         E
She was packing her bags
       F#
I was popping a top


CHORUS:
        B
Is she gone for the summer, gone for the night
C#m
Gone for the weekend or the rest of my life
         B
Was she laughing, was she crying as she walked away
        C#m
I can`t say
                      B
I was on a boat that day

 B
The river was rolling
B
I was getting my float on
C#m
She was telling me so long
C#m                     B
 I was already so long gone
     C#m
Hey, hey


VERSE:
     B
She could`ve been halfway to Houston,
             C#m
But I didn`t care
       B
I was drunk as a skunk eating lunch
                  C#m
With a cross-eyed bear

You been there


PRE-CHORUS:
         D#m
She was looking for something, better than me
       E
I was looking for nothing
      F#
Just riding the breeze


CHORUS:
        B
Is she gone for the summer, gone for the night
C#m
Gone for the weekend or the rest of my life
         B
Was she laughing, was she crying as she walked away
        C#m
I can`t say
                      B
I was on a boat that day

 B
The river was rolling
B
I was getting my float on
C#m
She was telling me so long
C#m                     B
 I was already so long gone

B                             C#m           B
Da da da  da da da   da da da da  hey  hey hey
B                             C#m

BREAK:
     B
I remember it like it was yesterday
          C#m
`Cause it was
       C#m
And I still got a buzz


CHORUS:
        B
Is she gone for the summer, gone for the night
C#m
Gone for the weekend or the rest of my life
         B
Was she laughing, was she crying as she walked away
        C#m
I can`t say
                      B
I was on a boat that day

 B
The river was rolling

I was getting my float on
C#m
She was telling me so long
