The Man in the Boat

THE MAN IN THE BOAT Em Many times I’ve sailed the sea And it can get quite wet D Many seek their destination But they haven’t reached it yet Em You need to find the man To reach the port where you should be C D Sometimes it’s hard to find him Em If you’re lost at sea —-- CHORUS —---- C G Where is the man in the boat? D Port! Aft! Starboard! G To keep the ship afloat C G We have got to sail the briny sea Am (hold) Where oh where Em (hold) Can the little man be? —------------------------ Em You search the whole world over And it dominates the mind D ‘Cause you can be a hero If it’s something you can find Em Grab the helm of your boat It won’t matter the size C D But you’ve got to find the little man Em To sail to paradise —-- CHORUS —---- —- BRIDGE (in 6/8) —-- Em Maybe he set off Bm To chase an elusive dream C Down below the equator Em Things are not as simple as they seem C There are things that you can see Em Not meant for the eyes of men Bm You may find a hidden treasure B (major) You must believe you can *spanish guitar strum* —-------------------- — FLUTE SOLO — —-- CHORUS —---- Em Many men that sail the sea Are lost beyond repair D They leave their wives to weep Forlorn in deep despair Em Some say it takes a handsome man Some say it takes a crew C D It just takes a seasoned sailor Em To steer a wet canoe —-- CHORUS —---- —-- CHORUS —----
