Well, my father often told me when I was just a lad
A sailor's life is very hard, the food is always bad
But now I've joined the Navy, [F#] I'm bored of man-o-war
And now I've found a sailor ain't [G#] a sailor anymore
Don't haul on the rope, don't [E] climb up the mast
If you see [F#m] a sailing ship, it might be [D#] your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore
[C#m] A sailor ain't a sailor ain't [E] a sailor anymore
Well, the killer got the mess, he says we had it soft
It wasn't like [B] that in his day when we were up [E] a lot
We like our bunks and sleeping bags, what's a hammock for?
Swingin' from the deck and a-lying on the floor
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see [F#m] a sailing ship, it might be [B] your last
Just [E] get your civvies ready for another [C#m] run ashore
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't [E] a sailor anymore
[B] [E] Well, they gave us an engine that first went up and down
And then with more technology, [B] the engines are round
[E] We know our steams and diesels, but what's a maniard for?
A stoker ain't a stoker with a shell anymore
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
[C#m] If you see a sailing [F#m] ship, it might be your last
[E] Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore
[C#m] A sailor ain't a sailor [B] ain't a sailor [E] anymore
They gave us an albatross so we could do it right
They gave us a radio, [B] we'd think no day or night
[E] We know our codes and sign, but what's a semaphore?
A button-tosser doesn't toss the button anymore
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing [F#m] ship, it might [B] be your last
[E] Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore

Two cans of beer a day, and that's your bleeding lot
