Intro:
DmBbDmBbDmBb
Underneath a silver moon, the ship is like a ghost,
CADm
She's been out there for a week, just waiting for the wind to blow,
DmBb
But now she's off and running, and there's nothing I can do,
GmA
'Cos I am just a prisoner here until this war is through,
A7
And I'm singing,
DmAm
Sailor, can you hear me,
GmDm
Sailor, hear my call,
DmAm
Sailor, take me with you,
GmDm
Sailor, take me home...
DmBb
Yesterday I saw a seabird wheeling light and low,
CADm
Then she sailed off to the west like she was telling me the way to go,
DmBb
If I had her wings my love I'd be with you tonight,
GmA
But my last hope has gone, it's drifting out of sight,
A7
Wait for me,
DmAm
Oh Sailor, take me to her,
GmDm
Sailor, take me home...
DmAmGmDmDmCBbADmCBbADmC
To feel the wind, to see the sky,
BbA
To hear the waves breaking on the shore again,
DmC
To be with you, to lie with you,
BbA
To hear your voice echo through the hills again,
DmCBb
Oh my darling wait for me, 'cos I will be there,
A
When it is over, when it is over,
BbA
Yes I will return one day,
DmAm
Sailor, take me to her,
GmDm
Oh Sailor, take me home,
DmAm
Sailor, can you hear me,
GmDm
Sailor, hear my call,
DmAmGmDmDmAmGmDm
Sailor, sailor, sailor, sailor...
