[Intro: ]G F G F G G7
C Em Am G
Wish I could sail in a big black boat
F C G
With a big white sail over me
C Em Am G
And once in the while I'd pull into port
F C G
Drink some wine with a girl
[Refrão]
F C F C
But Sylvia said come to bed
F C Dm G C
It's so good to have you here
Sometime ago, when time past so slow
Too weak to know where to go
But now thinking back on what strikes me the most
Is I've made up my mind long before
Chorus
So I'll cope with you, don't cope at all
So let's leave it all to the chef
Please send my regrets in case I forget
To PO Box nobody home
Chorus
