Capo on 2 or 3 works well for this song 

E                         B7                      E 
I saw three shrimp in the water, two were old and grey 
E                   A               B7                  E 
I swam a little bit closer and,   I heard the third one say 

E       A            E             B7 
Goodbye Mama shrimp, Papa shake my hand 
E             A                  E       B7    E 
Here come the shrimp boat for to take me Louisian' 
E             A                  E       B7    E 
Here come the shrimp boat for to take me Louisian' 

E                      B7                            E 
He showed his Mama and Papa, the shrimp newspaper he read 
E                A                   B7              E 
An invitation to all the shrimp, and this is what it said 

E          A            E             B7 
Free Ride, New Orleans, stay in grand hotel 
E            A               E        B7      E 
Meet Creole gal who help you come out of your shell 
E            A               E        B7      E 
Meet Creole gal who help you come out of your shell 

E                      B7                   E 
If I should live to be ninety, I will never forget 
E                         A 
The little shrimp and the song he sang 
      B7              E 
As he jumped into the net 


E       A            E             B7 
Goodbye Mama shrimp, Papa shake my hand 
E             A                  E       B7    E 
Here come the shrimp boat for to take me Louisian' 
E             A                  E       B7    E 
Here come the shrimp boat for to take me Louisian' 

E             A                  E       B7    E 
Here come the shrimp boat for to take me Louisian' (repeat 3 times to fade)
