Capo 1st fret

Am (x02210)
Em *(x7908x)
Em (022000)


[Chorus] 

Am
Elephant tusk on the boar of a sailing lady
                    Em *
Docked on the Ivory Coast
                  Em
Mercedes in a row winding down the road
                           Am
I hope my black skin don’t dirt this white tuxedo
                                Em * 
Before the Basquait show and if so
     Em
Well fuck it, fuck it
             Am
Because this water drown my family

This water mixed my blood
     Em * 
This water tells my story
     Em    
This water knows it all
                        Am
Go ahead and spill some champagne in the water
                           Em * 
Go ahead and watch the sun blaze
       Em
On the waves

Of the ocean


[Verse] 

Am
Dope boy still smelling like cocaina

White boat, white robe
                    Em 
Can he be more cleaner

The oil spill that BP ain’t clean up
                   Am
I’m anti Santa Maria

Only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace

I don’t even like Washingtons in my pocket
Em
Black card go hard when I’m shopping
                                         Am
Boat dock in front of Hermes picking cotton

Silk and fleeces, lay on my Jesus
                                        Em
Oh my God, I hope y’all don’t get sea sick

See me in shit you never saw
                                                           Am
If it wasn’t for these pictures they wouldn’t see me at all

Aww, whole world in awe
                                                       Em
I crash through glass ceilings, I break through closed doors

I’m on the ocean, I’m in heaven
N.C.
Yachting, Ocean 11


[Chorus] 

Am
Elephant tusk on the boar of a sailing lady
                    Em *
Docked on the Ivory Coast
                  Em
Mercedes in a row winding down the road
                           Am
I hope my black skin don’t dirt this white tuxedo
                                Em * 
Before the Basquait show and if so
     Em
Well fuck it, fuck it
             Am
Because this water drown my family

This water mixed my blood
     Em * 
This water tells my story
     Em    
This water knows it all
                        Am
Go ahead and spill some champagne in the water
                           Em * 
Go ahead and watch the sun blaze
       Em
On the waves

Of the ocean


[Verse] 

Am
Me and Ty Ty is like Pablo and Popeye

Winding dirt roads on mopeds spilling opus
Em
Welcome to the magnum opus

The Magna Carta

The best-selling author Decoded
Am
On the holiday playing “Strange Fruit”
                                                  Em
If I’mma make it to a billi I can’t take the same route

Swoosh

Now that’s the sound of the border

Swoosh
                          Am
Now that’s the sound of a baller

Muhammad Hovi my back against the rope, the black Maybach
                        Em
I’m back inside the boat
                                         
Shepard Fairey they finally gave me some hope
                       Am
Can’t believe they got a nigga to vote

Democrat, nope

I sold dope
                                            Em
In trouble water I had to learn how to float

On the ocean

I’m in heaven

This water knows it all
