Cadd9 (x32030@1)  Em7/B    G6Go (320000@1) out  on  the  ocean

          G6 (320000@1)           Dsus2/F#        G6Then (320000@1)we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail

Chorus

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

Chorus

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