Lyrics
AFS 16 Get on Board Intro:EB7 EEB7 E Chorus: E B7E B7E B7A B E7 Get on board We'll be rolling down the river Get on board It's the place to be Get on board We'll be rolling down the river Rolling down the river to the sea Verse: A GG G7A A7C7 B7 A GG G7A A7C7 B7 B+7 Bring your sister bring your wife Leave your sorrows leave your strife Move on forward with your life Rolling along to the sea Bring your uncle Bring your aunt Say you will but never you can't You can do just what you want Rolling along to the sea Get on board... Bring your lover bring you friend Bring all those on whom you depend This is your life so why pretend Rolling along to the sea Variation: A GG G7A A7F C F C F C F# B7 B+7 Make the most of your time Time is like a river Running blind Down to the sea Why be unkind Nothing lasts forever So get yourself together No matter what the weather Got to make the most for you and me Get on board ?
