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


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



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



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