[G]
I sail in motion, unsettled ocean, through restful waters and deep commotion, [Eb]
[Am] often frightened, [Eb]
[Am] unenlightened.
[Eb]
[F] Sailor, sailor, [G]
sailor.
I rest the waters, white Neptune's waters, sail through the sorrow of life's parades, [Eb]
[C] [Eb] unrepenting, [C] often empty.
[Eb]
[F] Sailor, [G] sailor, sailor.
[D]
Caught like a sewer [A] rat, [Em] alone but I sail, [D]
fought like crust of [Eb] bread, [Em] but oh, do I wail.
Seldom stumble, never crumble, try to tumble, might strumble.
[G] Hear the [C] stinging, [G] I've been [Am]
given, [G] never [Am] ending, [G] [C]
unrelenting.
Heart breaks, [Em]
cheering, always fearing, [Am] never [Em]
clearing, [Am] persevering.
[Eb]
Sailor, [F] [G] sailor, sailor.
I walk the seaways, the gale swept seaways, past your fret borders, our wicked [Eb] borders.
[D] Uninspired, [Eb]
[D] drenched in [Eb] time, wait [F] along, wait [G] along, sailor.
[Am] Always [Em]
bleeding, [Am] even [Em] bleeding, never feeding, all my feelings.
[G] Damn [Am] the thunder, [G] must [Am] I blunder, [G] there's [Am] no wonder, [G] all [C] I'm under.
[Am] Stop the [Em]
crying, and the lying, [Am] and the [Em]
sighing, [Am] and my dying.
[Eb]
[F] Sailor, [G] sailor, sailor.
[Eb]
[F] Sailor, [G] sailor, sailor.
[Eb]
[F] Sailor, sailor, [G]
sailor.
[Eb]
[F] Sailor, sailor, [G]
sailor.
[Eb]
[F] Sailor, sailor, [G]
sailor.
[Eb] Sing [F] on, sing on, [G] sing on, sing on.
