[E]
[B] [E] [E] And if I had a boat [Am] [E] I'd go out on the ocean [A] [E] and if I had a pony
I'd ride him [B] on my boat [A] [E] and we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Set me up [B] on my pony [E] on my boat
Now if I were a Rogers, [A] I'd [E] sure enough be single
I couldn't bring myself to marry [B] an old Dale
[E] Well, it'd just be me and Trigger, [A] we'd go [E] riding through them boys
Then we'd buy a [B] boat and on the [E] sea we'd sail
[A] And [E] if I had a boat [A] [E] I'd go out on the ocean
[A] [E] And if I had a pony [C#m] I'd ride [B] him on my boat
[F#m] [E] And we could all together go out on the ocean
Set me up [B] on my pony [E] on my boat
Well now the mystery masked man was smarty, he got himself a tanto
His tanto did the dirty [B] work for free
A [E] tanto he was smarty, and one day said, Kimasaabe
Well kiss my ass, I bought a [B] boat, I'm going out to [E] sea
[A] [E] And if I had a boat [A] [E] I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony [C#m] I'd [B] ride him on my boat
[A] And [E] we could all together go out on the ocean
Set me up on [B] my pony on [E] my boat
And
[C#m] [B]
[Em] if I were like lightning, [A] I [E] wouldn't need no sneakers
Well I'd come and go whenever I [B] would please
[E] And I'd scare him by the shade tree, [A] and [E] scare him by the light pole
But would not scare my pony [B] on my boat out [E] on the sea
[A] [E] And if I had a boat [A] [E] I'd go out on the ocean
[A] [E] And if I had a pony I'd ride him [B] on my boat
[A] And [C#m] we could [Em] all together [C#m] go out on the [E] ocean
Set me up [B] on my pony [E] on my boat
Set me up on my [B] pony on [E] my boat
