Sailor Man Chords

(ver. 1)
Bobby Bare
[Verse 1]
     E
In a pub Britanny I had me a drink or three
                                                B
I can vaguely recall a pretty girl was standin' there
N.C.                    E                         A
Ran her hand through my hair took me off for some air
          E                     B                   E    B
I hope we had a good time for I woke without even a dime
 
 
[Chorus]
      E
I'm a sailor that's all that I am I've been in many a land
                                               B
Had a million girls but never have the urge to stay
N.C.          E                 A
I was born to be on the rollin' sea
             E                    B                   E   B
That's where I'll be a livin' and I'll be a dyin' someday
 
 
[Verse 3]
       E
Well I copped me a ship once more that was bound for Singapore
                                                 B
I got in a card game that lasted for thirty some days
N.C.                E                   A
I made my shipmates sad I took all they had
               E                          B                  E   B
I taught those rosy cheek lads they don't be underratin' ol' Dad
 
 
[Chorus]
      E
I'm a sailor that's all that I am I've been in many a land
                                               B
Had a million girls but never have the urge to stay
N.C.          E                 A
I was born to be on the rollin' sea
             E                    B                   E   B
That's where I'll be a livin' and I'll be a dyin' someday
 
 
[Verse 4]
           E
Three more days and we'll be in port we'll have twenty four hours of sport
                                                B
We'll spend our hard earned money as fast as we can
N.C.             E                              A
Lift the glasses high and tell the pretty girls lies
               E                             B                E   B
And then we'll run for the harbor that's the life of a sailor man
 
 
[Outro]
      E
I'm a sailor that's all that I am I've been in many a land
                                               B
Had a million girls but never have the urge to stay
