Rub a Dub Dub

Rub a Dub Dub
by Hank Thompson
 
G                                                        C
ONCE UPON A TIME IN A NURSERY RHYME THREE LITTLE MEN GOT LOST
     D7                                                     G
LIKE YOU AND ME THEY COULDN'T AGREE AND UPON THE WAVES THEY TOSSED
                                                                 C
I'LL SING THEIR TUNE CAUSE THEY GOT MAROONED WITH A LOVE I CAN'T FORGET
        D7                                              G
NOW THE THREE LITTLE MEN JUST TOOK ME IN ON AN OCEAN OF REGRET 
 
                                                            D7
WITH A RUB-A-DUB-DUB THREE MEN IN THE TUB LOST ON THE OCEAN BLUE
  G                   C                       D7                G
I ROW LIKE A HUB SANG RUB-A-DUB-DUB CAUSE YOU BROKE MY HEART IN TWO
 
                                                                  C
WELL I CAN'T REACH SHORE AND MY HEART IS SORE AND I'M DRIFTIN FAR AWAY
         D7                                                           G
FROM THE LOVE I HAD AND I'M FEELIN' MIGHTY BAD AND I CAN'T GO ON THIS WAY
                                                                  C
WON'T YOU THROW OUT THE LINE AND SAY YOU'RE MINE AND TAKE ME BACK AGAIN
         D7                                                              G
CAUSE MY RUDDER'S BROKE AND IT AIN'T NO JOKE WON'T YOU REACH AND PULL ME IN
 
                                                                    C
WELL I KNEW RIGHT AWAY THERE'D NEVER COME A DAY WHEN I'D REACH LAND AGAIN
    D7                                                        G
THE ONE I ADORE ON THE DISTANCE SHORE IS NOW AT THE RAINBOW'S END 
                                                                       C
TO THE THREE LITTLE GUYS I TURNED MY EYES WON'T YOU TELL YOUR NAMES TO ME
     D7                                                 G
WELL ONE SAID FATE ONE SAID HATE AND THE OTHER SAID JEALOUSY
 
                                                            D7
WITH A RUB-A-DUB-DUB THREE MEN IN THE TUB LOST ON THE OCEAN BLUE
  G                   C                       D7                G
I ROW LIKE A HUB SANG RUB-A-DUB-DUB CAUSE YOU BROKE MY HEART IN TWO
