[Verse 1]
D
I don't like the boat
G D
And the boat does not like me.
D
It seems we are at odds
G A
Whenever we're at sea.
D
When were at the dock
G D
It's really not so rough
D
But if we're sailing all about
G A D
That's when I throw up!
[Chorus]
D G
The sea! The sea!
D A
The sea is not for me.
G D
The sea, the sea,
G A D
The sea is not for me.
D G
A sailor I will never be,
D A
Because you surely see.
D G A D
The sea and I, we simply disagree.
[Verse 2]
D
Though I like the water
G D
And I like to swim about
D
And I do love it's bounties
D G A
Like crab and shrimp and trout.
D
I simply cannot keep them down
G D
When we start to rock
D
I'd much rather love the sea
G A D
While sitting on the dock!
[Chorus]
D G
The sea! The sea!
D A
The sea is not for me.
G D
The sea, the sea,
G A D
The sea is not for me.
D G
A sailor I will never be,
D A
Because you surely see.
D G A D
The sea and I, we simply disagree.
D
Now don't mistake my song
G D
For one of ocean hate.
D
For I still love the sea
G A
It's the sailing I can't take
D
I am from the mountains
G D
With the rivers and the lakes
D
So when I wish to ride the waves
G A D
The rapids I shall take.
[Chorus]
D G
The sea! The sea!
D A
The sea is not for me.
G D
The sea, the sea,
G A D
The sea is not for me.
D G
A sailor I will never be,
D A
Because you surely see.
D G A D
The sea and I, we simply disagree.
D G A D
Oh, the sea and I, we simply disagree.
