  			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...
