Sailor Sailor
Em Am
When the morning sun came up I crawled into her bed
C D Em
The tears in her eyes were fallin’
Am
I could feel no sorrow for the cruel things I had said
C D Em
In my drunken state I did not care at all
G D
She said, sailor, sailor tell me will you ever change your ways
Am Em
Oh, do not take me through this stormy weather
G D
I can feel your sorrow, you have seen your better days
Am C
Ah, but I could not have loved you any better
D Em
No, I could not have loved you any better
Am Em
Amber shades of red slashed through the night
D Em
And light the bed where I suppose I will lie alone a while until her cryin is done
Am Em
I cannot explain why I cannot feel her pain
D Am
I’ve grown unfeeling I suppose
C D Em
I’ve grown unfeeling I suppose
Oh sailor sailor tell me will you ever change your ways...
