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

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

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

The boat that I row won't get there soon.

Well, I've got the love if you've got the notion.
C               G          C          D 
The boat that I row is big enough for two.
D
Just me and you.
