The basic chord pattern and strumming in the song is:   []       []      [/]        [] [-u-]    [u-u-]    [u-u-]    [u-u--u] (Verse 1) Ol’ Joe’s got a Boston whaler he bought in Key Biscane He swears since the day he’s got her she’s been nothing but a pain when the sun’s at his back and the winds in his face it’s just him and the wheel he wouldn’t take a million for the way it makes him feel (Chorus) boats vessels of freedom harbors of heal-ing boats (Verse 2 - same chords and strumming as beginning here) Newport is where John hung his hat til he lost his wife Jo now forty feet of sail antique is where Ol’ John calls home he watched his life pass before his eyes in the middle of a hurricane came out alive on the other side that’s where "the other side" got its name (Repeat Chorus) (solo) (Verse 3 - same chords and strumming as beginning here) Twenty years of a landlocked job was all that tom could take sitting at his desk all alone and depressed says this just cant be my fate went home that night and told his wife you can tell all your friends it’s been real but it ain’t been fun gonna get us one of them (Repeat Chorus) (Ending) vessels of freed-om boats This is my first tab.
