Lyrics

(Cmaj7)My lit tle boat is like a note bounc ing (F#m7)mer ri ly a (B7)long, hear it (F#m7)splash in’ up a (B7)song.

(Bbmaj7)The sails are white, the sky is bright head in’ (Em7)out in to the (A7)blue with a (Em7)crew of on ly (A7)two.

(Abmaj7)Where we can share love’s salt y air on a (Dm7)lit tle par a (G7)dise that’s a (G7)float,

not a (Em7)care

have (A7#5)we

in my (Dm7)lit

tle (G7#5)boat.

(Cmaj7)The wind is still, we feel the thrill of a (F#m7)voy age heav en (B7)bound, tho’ we (F#m7)on ly drift a (B7)round.

(Bbmaj7)Warmed by the sun, two hearts as one beat ing (Em7)with en chant ed (A7)bliss, melt ing (Em7)in each oth er’s (A7)kiss.

(Abmaj7)When day light ends and sly ly sends lit tle (Dm7)stars to twin kle (G7)bright ly a (G7)bove,

it’s good (Em7)bye

to (A7#5)my

lit tle (Dm7)boat

of (G7#5)love.

Good (Db9)bye,

lit tle (Cmaj7)boat.

Good (Db9)bye,

lit tle (Cmaj7)boat.
