Sloop John B
The Beach Boys
(Capo 1st fret)
G
We come on the sloop John B - my grandfather and me
D
Around Nassau town we did roam
G C Am
Drinking all night, got into a fight
G D D7 G
Well, I feel so broke up I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail - see how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore - let me go home
Let me go home - I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well, I feel so broke up I wanna go home
The first mate he got drunk and broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well, I feel so broke up I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail - see how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore - I wanna go home
Why don't you let me go home - hoist up the John B
I feel so broke up I wanna go home
The poor cook he caught the fits and threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home - why don't they let me go home?
This is the worst trip I've ever been on
So hoist up the John B's sail - see how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore - let me go home
I wanna go home - why don't you let me go home...

Pet Sounds
The G is constantly adding a 4th (4 per line of verse) making a kind
of caliope sound.
