#1.
D5            G5                      D5    G5
Don't have a lot but with me that's fine.
D5          G5                      D5     G5
Whatever I got, well, I know it's mine.
D5           G5                    D5      G5
I don't go around with the local crowd.
D5                  G5                   D5    G5
I don't dig what's in, so, I guess I'm out.
G5                C5             G5       D5    C5 F5 G5
I'm saying these things so you know me baby.
G5              C5                   D5
So you'll understand what I'm all about.

CHORUS:
D5               G5         C5        D5
The boat that I row won't cross no ocean.
D5               G5         C5         D5
The boat that I row won't get there soon.
D5     C5            G5       C5              D5
Well, I've got the love if you've got the notion.
C5               G5          C5          D5 
The boat that I row is big enough for two.
D5
Just me and you.

#2.
D5                  G5                        D5   G5                 
Ain't nobody in my life can tell me what to say.
D5               G5                       D5   G5
I choose my own side and I like it that way.
D5                   G5                  D5   G5
I don't worry about all the things I'm not.
D5                G5                    D5    G5
There's only one thing I want I ain't got.
G5                 C5                  D5     C5 F5 G5
You know that I'm talkin' about you, baby.
G5              C5                    D5
But you better know before you come along..

CHORUS:
D5               G5         C5        D5
The boat that I row won't cross no ocean.
D5               G5         C5         D5
The boat that I row won't get there soon.
D5     C5            G5       C5              D5
Well, I've got the love if you've got the notion.
C5               G5          C5          D5 
The boat that I row is big enough for two.
D5
Just me and you.
