Intro:  E A E A E A E A

Verse:
E                                       A
It’s time for a change I’m tired of that same old same
B                  C#m                D                        B
The same old words the same old lines the same old tricks and the same old rhymes
E                                 A
Days precious days rolling in and out like waives
B                          C#m                  D                    B
I got boards to bend I got planks to nail I got charts to make I got seas to sail

Chorus:
B            A                    B
I’m going to build me a boat with these two hands 
            E                  A
Should be a fair curve from an noble plan
F#m                B
Let the chips fall where they will
B              E
Cause I’ve got boats to build

Verse 2:
E                                  A
Sails are just like wings the wind can make ‘em sing
B             C#m           D                  B
Songs of life songs of hope songs to keep your dreams a float

Chorus:
B            A                    B
I’m going to build me a boat with these two hands 
            E                 A
Should be a fair curve from a noble plan
F#m                B
Let the chips fall where they will
B              E
Cause I’ve got boats to build

Verse 3:
E                                       A
Shores distant shores there’s where I’m headed for
B               C#m          D              B
I got the stars I got my way sailing to the light of day

Chorus:
B            A                    B
I’m going to build me a boat with these two hands

Should be a fair curve from a noble plan
F#m                B
Let the chips fall where they will
B               A                    B
Cause I’m gonna build me a boat with these two hands 
            E                 A
She’ll be a fair curve from a noble plan
F#m                B
Let the chips fall where they will
B              E
Cause I’ve got boats to build
