[Intro]
E7 A D E7 A E7
[Verse 1]
A D
Once upon a time in a nursery rhyme three little men got lost
E7 A
Like you and me they couldn't agree and upon the waves they tossed
A A7 D
Well I'll sing their tune cause they got marooned with a love I can't forget
E7 A
Now the three little men just took me in on an ocean of regret
[Chorus]
E7 A E7
With a rub-a-dub-dub three men in the tub lost on the ocean blue
A D E7 A
I'll row like a hub sing rub-a-dub-dub cause you broke my heart in two
[Instrumental]
E7 A E7
A D E7 A G# A
[Verse 2]
A D
Well my heart is sore and I can't reach shore and and I'm driftin' far away
E7 A
From the love I had and I'm feelin' mighty bad and I can't go on this way
A A7 D
Won't you throw out the line and say you're mine and take me back again
E7 A
Cause my rudder's broke and it ain't no joke won't you reach and pull me in
[Chorus]
E7 A E7
With a rub-a-dub-dub three men in the tub lost on the ocean blue
A D E7 A
I'll row like a hub sing rub-a-dub-dub cause you broke my heart in two
[Instrumental]
E7 A D E7 A G# A
[Verse 3]
A D
Well I knew right away there'd never come a day when I'd reach land again
E7 A
The one I adore on the distance shore is now at the rainbow's end
A D
To the three little guys I turned my eyes won't you tell your names to me
E7 A
Well one said fate one said hate and the other said jealousy
[Chorus]
E7 A E7
With a rub-a-dub-dub three men in the tub lost on the ocean blue
A D E7 A E A
I'll row like a hub sing rub-a-dub-dub cause you broke my heart in two
