 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...
