Verse 1:
Oh [(G)]Gideon lived across the bay,

[(C)]He's getting [(G)]older now.

[(C)]His boat is [(G)]big and bold.

She has[(Am)] a stalward [(D)]bow

But [(G)]my father's boat was second hand,

[(C)]One someone [(G)]used before,

[(C)]And after [(G)]every fishing trip

My fath[(Am)]er always [(D)]swore;

That [(G)]someday he would save enough

[(C)]To go to [(G)]St. John's town.

[(C)]And buy him[(G)]self a big new boat,

A [(C)]boat like [(D)]Gideon [(G)]Brown.

A [(C)]Boat Like [(D)]Gideon [(G)]Brown.

Many [(G)]years did pass away

[(C)]And Dad began to [(G)]fade.

He [(C)]didn't talk of [(G)]boats too much,

He [(Am)]said "Son I'm [(D)]afraid"

If [(G)]things don't soon improve

Then [(C)]I'll be [(G)]underground;

[(C)]Before we ever get to see [(G)]ourselves,

In a [(C)]boat like [(D)]Gideon [(G)]Brown.

CHORUS

I sat and [(G)]held his hand one day

And he [(C)]said "Son, that [(G)]policy"

The [(C)]insurance is all in [(G)]your name

[(Am)]You're the [(D)]beneficiary

And [(G)]when I'm gone they'll pay you off.

Then [(C)]go to St. [(G)]John's town

And [(C)]buy yourself a big, new [(G)]boat,

In a [(C)]boat like [(D)]Gideon [(G)]Brown.

In a [(C)]boat like [(D)]Gideon [(G)]Brown.
