D           A          Bm 
I fell in love with a sailor 
D           A          Bm 
Near the docks of my home down 
D           A          Bm 
When I was young and full of anger 
D           A          Bm 
He brought me up when I was down 

Bm           Bm       Bm 
Saying how many years has it been like that 

            G          D      
And when we woooah woo woooo wooo wooo 
         A             Bm 
I've got trouble tryna lose you 
              G          D

D           A          Bm 
Left the coast in early morning 
D           A          Bm 
Watched his boat set off to sea 
D           A          Bm 
Silence is a golden mountain 
D           A          Bm

she told me she didn't like the direction her life was about to go 

D                        A                        Bm 
So I took her on my boat and we made love under the stars 

D                             A                           Bm 
I told her something about mountains so she'd leave before night was dark 


Bm                 Bm               Bm 
said How many years has it been like this? 
Don't leave me dying out here like this. 

                   G          D
