If I had a boat , when to play what?

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

If I had a boat , when to play what?

Post by Jeremy_9 »

Ive been trying to figure out how to play what in this song for awhile now and it just seems to not be clicking for me. I have a vid from 1-27-99 but its a fairly bright vid and hard to see. Does anyone have any advise or better videos for this song?

hosting the oscars is like winning the heisman trophy. no matter how you do in the ballgame, or whatever, they can't take it away from you. and even if you kill your wife and an ex-waiter, they still have a hard time taking it away from you

[chorus]
2	If I had a boat		
	I'd go out on the ocean		
	And if I had a pony 	
	I'd ride him on my boat 
	And we could all together	
	Go out on the ocean		
3	Me upon my pony on my boat 

1	If I were Roy Rogers	
	I'd sure enough be single	
3	I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale 
1	It'd just be me and trigger	
	We'd go riding through them movies 
3	Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail 

chorus

1	The mystery masked man was smart 
	He got himself a Tonto 
3	'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free 
1	But Tonto he was smarter 
	And one day said kemo sabe 
3	Kiss my ass I bought a boat I'm going out to sea 

chorus

2 (solo)
1	And if I were like lightning	
	I wouldn't need no sneakers 
3	I'd come and go wherever I would please 
1	And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree 	
	And I'd scare 'em by the light pole 
3	But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea 

chorus
