I Got A Hole In My Pirogue Chords by Johnny Horton

[Verse]

E                 E         
Well I went out a fishin' to 
E      E7/D   E
make a little more
   A           A/E     
To take to Catelina so 
E        E7/D      E
we could have some fun
A          A/E             
On the way back, I knocked 
  E    E7/D  E
a hole in my bow
        E          E        
I got a hole in my pirogue,
   B               E 
 I can't go see my gal
 
[Verse]

    E        E          E     
The purtiest sight that you 
     E7/D  E
ever have seen
     A         A/E          
Is a moonlight night down in
 E   E7/D E
 New Or - leans
A          A/E    
I'm up the river, 
E     E7/D       E
just around the bend
        E          E        
I got a hole in my pirogue, 
  B                   E  E6 
I just cain't hold it in
 
[Instrumental]

   E      E          E              
   A      A/E        E      E  
   A      A/E        E      E       
   E      E          B      E 
 
[Verse]

     E          E            
Well Catelina's waitin' with 
E     E7/D   E
tears in her eyes
A              A/E        
Munchin' and a crunchin' 
     E    E7/D  E
on a craw-fish  pie
  A            A/E       
I can smell my feeling,  
E        E7/D        E
floatin' through the air
        E          E         
I got a hole in my pirogue, 
  B               E E6/B 
I can't go see my Cher
 
[Verse]

    E        E          E    
The purtiest sight that you 
     E7/D  E
ever have  seen
     A         A/E           
Is a moonlight night down in 
E   E7/D  E
New Or - leans
A          A/E    E   
I'm up the river, up 
 E7/D       E
around the bend
        E          E7/D     
I got a hole in my pirogue, 
  B                    E E6/B 
I just cain't hold it in
 
[Instrumental]

   E     E        E              
   A     A/E      E
   A     A/E      E              
   E               B    E    
 
[Verse]

         E           E      
Yeah I'm here on the bayou, 
E      E7/D   E
sittin' all  alone
       A      A/E        
With a busted bottom and  
  E      E7/D    E
I cain't pole it home 
A          A/E     E               E7/D
Catelina's waitin' lonesome as can be
        E          E        
I got a hole in my pirogue, 
  B                E  E6/B 
I cain't go see my she
 
[Verse]

    E        E              
The purtiest sight that you 
E    E7/D E
ever have seen
     A         A/E           
Is a moonlight night down in 
E   E7/D E
New Or - leans
A          A/E    
I'm up the river, 
E   E7/D      E
up around the bend
        E          E        
I got a hole in my pirogue, 
  B                   E 
I just cain't hold it in
