David Wilcox version?
      
    RIVERBOAT FANTASY
          (David Wilcox)

F
"Sittin on a riverboat, havin a party
Bb               F
Me and my Cajun queen
F
She's turnin 21 on the Mississippi River
G                         C
Headin down to New Orleans
    F                  Bb
The year is 1894 - C'mon, baby and love me some more
    F
Her dark eyes flash like a gambler's rings
                                 C            F
She shakes her pretty head and sings

Chorus

F
Life for me is a Riverboat Fantasy
Bb                         F
Watchin the sun go down
F
A rock'n roll band and a reefer in my hand
         G                               C
Now look at those wheels go round!
F
Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses
Bb                     F
That's the life for me
F                                                 D
I'm sailing away from my heartache
         G             C    F
On a Riverboat Fantasy.


Can't think, can't drink any more whiskey
I coulda drunk a river dry
Mmmm this old boat is just sittin in the moonlight
Catchin the gleam in her eye
Showers of rain come pourin down
The sky full of stars like a French lace gown
Shimmer, glimmer, I think I'm gonna fall - whoops!
Catch me mama, that's all   

(Chorus)

Delta sun beat down like a hammer hmm
It give the low-down blues
I got a cotton gin, a wheel in spin
And shake the dust from my shoes
I made my money, I found me a honey
To tickle me under my chin
When morning comes, a ride into town
Then worry bout the shape I'm in.

(Chorus)

I did the basic chords "by ear" - and they're the same for all 3 verses. Might try adding 7ths, though - especially for the G.

Have fun!   daylia
