Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

I'm building a houseboat in heaven

to sail those deep and holy seas

I'm building a houseboat in heaven

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)
