[Verse 1]
D                        G
Steamboat waiting by the waterside
D                       G
Sunlight shining on the morning tide
F      C/G          D
Got my ticket in my hand
F        C/E         D
Got some celebrating planned

[Verse 2]
D                     G
Can't remember when I felt so fine
D                        G
I've been waiting such a long long time
F       C/G                D
Just to hear those engines hum
F        C/E              D
Look out dreamboat here I come

[Chorus]
          Dmaj7    D                 G
And I say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride
Dmaj7    D                G
Steam on steamboat to the other side
E           G7
All aboard, make it fast
E                          A       G
Thank the lord, I'm coming home at last

[Verse 3]
D                       G
If you love me like you did before
D                       G
Be there waiting on the distant shore
F       C/G               D
When my steamboat comes inside
F      C/E             D
Then I know we'll be alright

[Chorus]
          Dmaj7    D                 G
And I say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride
Dmaj7    D                G
Steam on steamboat to the other side
E               G7
Turn the crank, change the gear
E                            A      G
Raise the flag and let's get out of here

[Verse 4]
D                          G
Feels so good to know that soon I'll see
D                           G
You've been saving all your love for me
F         C/G            D
For honey if there's any doubt
F       C/E               D
Just be sure I don't find out

[Chorus]
          Dmaj7    D                 G
And I say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride
Dmaj7    D                G
Steam on steamboat to the other side
E              G7
Cast the line, check the fuse
E                             A        G
save some time, this ain't no pleasure cruise

[Verse 5]
D                       G
Tell the captain not to take too long
D                           G
Keep that big wheel turning fast and strong
F         C/G            D
Fires are burning down below
F       C/E                D
Come on steamboat don't be slow

[Chorus]
          Dmaj7    D                 G
And I say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride
Dmaj7    D                G
Steam on steamboat to the other side
E                 G7
Wind the springs, set the course
E                          A       G
Pull some strings before I turn to force

Steam on steamboat to the other side

Ring the bell, sound the horn
E                                      A     G
Move like hell, I'm heading back where I was born
