[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?

Oh, sailor, [Dm] oh, sailor, take me
[Am] home.
