Actually, it's "If I had a Boat"! When I saw Lyle in concert last October

(the same week he was on the cover of National Enquirer), I was surprised

to see him play this song with the capo so far up the neck, like the 8th

or 9th fret, but it sure made the playing of the song easier! Check it

out -- in open 'G' fingering, capo on 7th, 8th or 9th fret:

If I had a boat, I'd go out on the ocean

C C/Bbass G C/Ebass D/F#bass

And if I had a pony, I'd ride him on my boat (this first 'verse'

C C/Bbass G C C/Bbass G turns out to be

And we could all together, go out on the ocean the CHORUS)

G D/F#bass G

Just me upon my pony on my boat

G C C/Bbass G

And if I were Roy Rogers, I'd sure enough be single

G D/F#bass

I couldn't bring myself to marryin' old Dale

G C C/Bbass G

It'd just be me & Trigger; we'd go ridin' through them movies

G D/F#bass

And we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail

(CHORUS)

Well, the mystery masked man was smart, he got himself a Tonto

Cuz Tonto did the dirty work for free

But Tonto, he was smarter, and one day said Kemosabe

You can kiss my ass, I bought a boat, I'm headed out to sea

(CHORUS)

(instrumental break)

And if I were like light'ning, I wouldn't need no sneakers

Well, I'd come and go whenever I would please

And I'd scare 'em by the shady tree, 'n scare 'em by the light pole

But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea

(CHORUS)

G D/F#bass G C G D G

Just me upon my pony on my boat
