[G] [Am]
Underneath the silver moon, the ship is like a ghost.
[Em] She's been out there [E] for a week, [Am] just waiting for the wind to blow.
[Em] [Am] Now she's off and running, [Dm] and there's nothing I can do.
[F]
[Dm] Cause I am just a prisoner here, [E] until this war is through.
[Am] And I'm singing, sailor, [Em] can you hear me?
[Dm] Sailor, [F]
hear [Am] my call.
Sailor, [Em] take me with you.
[Bm]
[Dm] Sailor, take me [Am] home.
Yesterday I saw the sea [F] bird, wheeling light and low.
[G] Then she sailed [E] off to the west, like [Am] she was telling me the way to go.
If I had her wings, my love, [F] I'd be with you tonight.
[Dm] But my last hope has gone, [E] it's drifting out of sight.
And [Am] I'm singing, sailor, can [Em] you hear me?
[Em]
[Dm] Sailor, hear my [Am] call.
Oh, sailor, take [Em] me to her.
[Dm] Sailor, [F]
take me [Am] home.
To feel the [G] wind, to see the [F] sky, to hear the [E] waves breaking on the [Am] shore again.
To be with [G] you, lie with [F] you, to hear your [E] voice echo through the hills [Am] again.
Oh, my darling, [C] wait for me.
[Dm] I will be there [E] when it is over.
When it is over.
When it is over.
[E] [Am]
Sailor, take [Em] me to her.
[Dm] Oh, sailor, take me [Am] home.
Sailor, can [Em] you hear me?
[Am] Sailor, hear my call.
Oh, sailor, [Dm] oh, sailor, take me
[Am] home.

Let's start jamming Chris De Burgh - Sailor chords, practice the chord sequence Em, Dm, Am, Em, E, Am, G and F. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 57 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 115. Adjust the capo based on your vocal range and chord preference, keeping the song's key of A Minor in mind.
