I awake from a long, deep sleep
In a leaky little boat on a wide blue sea
I spy no island, rock or shore
And the sea, shes a-comin to me through a hole in the floor
And the tide come in and the tide go out
And the waves they come toss my little boat about
And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue
I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too
-
Just a leaky little boat

This is the same as the first part of the verses. It is strummed up-down-up on the A's
D's. E can be just one stroke.
This fill is played over these chords and comes up more throughout the song with variations.

The verse is strummed the same way as the above part. Up-down-up on the A's, D's, and
one strum on the E's.
And as I wake I look around
I have no notion where Im bound
So many different colored boats I see
Are all leaky, lonely and driftin
Just like me
And the tide come in and the tide go out
And the waves they come toss my little boat about
And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue
I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too
-
Just a leaky little boat
I spy no island rock or shore
I spy no island rock or shore
I spy no island shore
And the sea keeps a-comin to me through a hole in the floor
-
Of my leaky little boat
Alone, adrift, together are we
Slowly sinkin in a deep blue sea
But we smile and we wave
And we say, Im afraid
and I love you
and here we go
And the tide come in and the tide go out
And the waves they come toss my little boat about
And the sky turn black and the sky turn blue
I got no pail, no sail, no anchor, too
-
Just a leaky little boat

At the end the music stops then there is just a rhythmic tap on the dummer's high hat
a few seconds. Then the guitar comes in with something like this:
