[D] [G]

[G]
While I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day, I saw a great big wooden [A] box
a-floatin' [D] in the bay.
[G] I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise, ooh,
I [A] discovered a
[G] right before my eyes.
Ooh, I [Db] discovered [A] a
[G] right before my eyes.
I
picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king.
I took it to a guy I [A] knew who'd buy
[D] most anything, [G] but this is what he hollered at [C] me as I walked in his shop.
Ooh, get outta
here with that
[A] before [G] I call a cop.
Ooh, get [D] outta here with that
before [G] I call
a cop.
I turned around and got right [C] outta runnin' [G] for my life, and then I took it home
with [A] me to give it [D] to my wife.
[G] But this is what she hollered at [C] me as I walked [G] in the
door.
Ooh, get outta here with that
and don't come back no more.
Ooh, get [E] outta here
with that
[A] and [G] don't come back no more.
[Ab]
I wandered all around the [Db] town until I [Ab] chanced
to meet a hobo who was lookin' [Bb] for a hand out on the [Eb] street.
[Ab] He said he'd take most
any old [Db] thing, he was a desperate [Ab] man.
But when I showed him the
he turned around
and ran.
Ooh, when I showed him [Bb] the
he [E] turned around and ran.
I [A] wandered on for many
[D] years, a victim [A] of my fate, until one [B] day I came upon St.
Peter [Bm] at the gate.
And [A] when
I tried to take it inside, he [D] told me [Em] where to go.
Get outta [Fm] here with that
and take
it down below.
Ooh, get outta here with that
[G] and take [A] it down below.
The [Dbm] moral of the [A] story
is if you're out on the beach, and you should [E] see a great [Gbm] big [B] box and it's within [E] your reach,
[A] don't ever stop [Em] and open it up.
[D] That's my [Em] advice to you, [A] cause you'll never [Db] get rid
of the
[B] no matter [E] what [A] you do.
Ooh, you'll never get rid [Gm] of the
[E] no matter [Gm] what you do.
