[Verse 1]
I [C]think we've probably had
enough fun here for one night.
I don't want anybody to get hurt.
I did hear a couple [Am]of requests.
[C][F][C]
[F][C][Csus4][F][C]
[Dm]You know, these songs,
all [F]these songs [Csus4]that I pl[F]ayed tonight,
[C]some of them are new,
some of them [F]are old,
and [C]some of them have been recorded.
[Csus4]But the n[F]ice thing about them
is they're kind [C]of like an insurance poli[Ab]cy
or [Fm]a savings account.
[F]You never know when they're going
[Csus4]to pay of[C]f,
you know? like this [F]song,
[Csus4]I wrote i[C]t with Guy,
[F]I belie[Csus4]ve around[C]
1990 or [F]something,
and then [Csus4]he put it[C] on his album,
[Csus4]it was the title [F]of one of his albums,
[Csus4][C]
and then [F]I think t[Csus4]he
[F]year before
[C]Before last, out of nowhere,
[Csus4]Jimmy Bucket [F]and A[C]lan Jackson
recorded it and did a duet.
[F][Csus4][C][F]
When [C]you thought that the life
of the song was [Csus4]over ,
there it is, resurrected [C]again.
[F]Mailbox money.
[C]Well, [F]it'[C]s time for a change,
[F]and I'm[C] tired of the same old[F] same,
[Csus4]the same [G]old words,
[Am]the same old lies,
the [Bb]same old tricks,
and the [Gsus4]same old [G]rhymes,
and it's [C]days, [F]precious
They [C]roll in and [F]out like waves
I got [G]boards to bend, I got plank[Am]s to nail
I got [Bb]charts to make, I got [G]seas to sail
I'm gonna [F]build me a boat
with [G]these two hands,
[C]a fair curve from a noble pla[F]n.
[Dm]Let the chips fall where t[G]hey will,
[Gsus4]cause I've got boats[G] to buil[C]d.
[Gsus4][G][Am][F][C]
[G][C]
Our [Csus4]sails are[C] just like win[Csus4]gs,
you know [C]the wind,
that's what [Csus4]makes them sing.
[Gsus4]Songs of [G]life, son[Am]gs of hope,
[Bb]songs to keep your dream[Gsus4]s afloat.[G]
I'm gonna [F]build me a boat,
with [Gsus4]these two han[G]ds,
it'll be [C]a fair curve from a noble
[F]Let [Dm]the chips fall where t[Gsus4]hey will,
[G]cause I got boats t[Csus4]o build.[C][G][C]
Shores, distant [F]shores, [C]there,
that's what I'm [F]headed for.
[G]Let the stars guide [Am]my way,
sail [Bb]into the light [Gsus4]of day
[G]I'm gonna bui[F]ld me a boat
[C]wit[Gsus4]h these t[G]wo hands
[C]A fair curve from a n[F]oble plan
[Dm]Let the chips fall where t[G]hey will
Cause I ain't gonna [F]build me a boat
with [Gsus4]these two hands
[C]Fair curve from an old [F]plant
[Dm]Let the chips fall where t[G]hey [Gsus4]will
Cause I ain't got boat[C]s to
[G]build[Am][F][C]
[G][C]
Yeah, thank y 'all.
