Verse 1:
    A# 
Oh Gideon lived across the bay,
 D#            A# 
He's getting older now.
 D#           A# 
His boat is big and bold.
        Cm          F 
She has a stalward bow
     A# 
But my father's boat was second hand,
 D#           A# 
One someone used before,
 D#         A# 
And after every fishing trip
        Cm        F 
My father always swore;
      A# 
That someday he would save enough
 D#        A# 
To go to St. John's town.
 D#          A# 
And buy himself a big new boat,
   D#         F      A# 
A boat like A#ideon Brown.
   D#         F      A# 
A Boat Like A#ideon Brown.


CHORUS:
                         Gm 
 'Cause she can punch the head in any gale
     D#                F 
And ride the fishing grounds.
   A#                 Gm 
I often thought how pround I'd be
      D#         F      A# 
In a boat like A#ideon Brown.
      D#         F      A# 
In a boat like A#ideon Brown.



Verse 2:
      A#        
Many years did pass away
 D#                A# 
And Dad began to fade.
    D#              A# 
He didn't talk of boats too much,
    Cm            F 
He said "Son I'm afraid"
    A#                
If things don't soon improve
      D#       A# 
Then I'll be underground;
 D#                         A# 
Before we ever get to see ourselves,
      D#         F      A# 
In a boat like A#ideon Brown.



CHORUS
           A# 
I sat and held his hand one day
        D#               A# 
And he said "Son, that policy"
     D#                   A# 
The insurance is all in your name
 Cm         F 
You're the beneficiary
     A# 
And when I'm gone they'll pay you off.
      D#         A# 
Then go to St. John's town
     D#                       A# 
And buy yourself a big, new boat,
      D#         F      A# 
In a boat like A#ideon Brown.
      D#         F      A# 
In a boat like A#ideon Brown.
