Riverboat Fantasy
[Intro] D# E (Ring)
E A E
Sittin' on a riverboat, havin' a party Me and my Cajun Queen
E
She's turnin' twenty-one on the Mississippi river
F# B
Headin' down to New Orleans
E A
The year is 1894 Oh come on mama and love me some more
E E B E
Her dark eyes flash like a gambler's rings She shakes her pretty head and sings
[Chorus]
E A E
Life for me is a riverboat fantasy Watchin' the sun go down
E
A rock and roll band with a reefer in my hand
F# B E
Now look at that wheel go around Cocaine kisses and moonshine Misses
A E A E - D# D C#
That's the life for me I'm sailing away from my heartache
F# B E
On a riverboat fantasy
E A E
Can't think, can't drink anymore whisky I could'a drunk a river dry
E
Mmmmm...this old boat she's just sittin' in the moonlight
F# B E
Catchin' the gleam in her eye Showers of rain come pourin' down
A
The sky full of stars like a French lace gown
E E B E
Shimmer, glimmer I think I'm gonna fall Whoops catch me mama, that's al
[Chorus]
E A E
Life for me is a riverboat fantasy Watchin' the sun go down

A rock and roll band with a reefer in my hand

E A E
Delta sun beats down like a hammer Mmmm....it gives the low down blues
E F# B
I've got a cotton gin. I'll weave and spin And shake the dust from my shoes
E A E
I made my money, I found me a honey To tickle me under my chin
E B E
When mornin' comes I'll ride into town And worry 'bout the shape I'm in
[Chorus]
E A E
Life for me is a riverboat fantasy Watchin' the sun go down
E
A rock and roll band with a reefer in my hand
F# B E
Now look at that wheel go around Cocaine kisses and moonshine Misses

That's the life for me I'm sailing away from my heartache
