As performed by Rodney Crowell on Austin City Limits TVZ tribute.

Capo 2, and just three chords: E, A, B7

CHORUS

E A

I'm building a houseboat in heaven

B7 E

to sail those deep and holy seas

E A

I'm building a houseboat in heaven

B7 E

and it's welcome aboard you sweet peace

VERSE 1

The bow she is made of solid silver

and the hall she is made of solid gold

she ain't much long the line's a-floating

but she's yours, babe, to have and to hold

CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS(no words, but w/underwater-sounding motorboat-like

blubbery-lips solo)

I rode my old guitar to heaven

but heaven didn't feel too much like home

so I'm headed out on to them lonesome oceans

in my ruby-studded houseboat to roam

CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS(no words, but w/underwater-sounding motorboat-like

blubbery-lips solo)
