The Last Shanty chords
Start Jamming...
Well, me 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, I'm aboard a man-o'-war
And now I've found a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
Don't crawl on the rope, don't climb up a mast
If you [E] see a sailing ship, it might [D#] be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another on the shore
[D] A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
[G] [D] Well, the killer kept our mess, he says we had it tough
It wasn't like [A] that in his day when we were up [D] aloft
We like our funks and sleeping bags, but what's a hammock for?
Swingin' from the deck, cater on the floor
Don't crawl on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship, it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another on the shore
A sailor ain't a [G] sailor ain't a sailor anymore
[D]
They gave us an engine that first went up and down
Then with more technology, [A] the engine went around
[D] We know our steam and diesel, but what's a minion for?
A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel and a floor
Don't crawl on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship, [A] it might be [D] your last
Just get your civvies ready for another on the shore
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a sailor anymore
They gave us an Aldus so we could do it right
They gave us a [A] radio, we signal day and [D] night
We know our codes and sight first, but what's a slimer for?
A button tosser doesn't toss a button anymore
Don't crawl on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship, it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another on the shore
A sailor [Bm] ain't a sailor ain't a sailor [G] anymore
[D] [Em] [D]
[Em] [Em] [D]
[G]
[D] [G]
[E]
Two [B] cans of beer a day and that's your bleeding lot
And now we've got an extra one because they stopped the tot
So we'll put on our civvy clothes, flying across the shore
[E] A sailor's just a sailor, just like he was before
Don't crawl on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see [F#] a sailing ship, it might be [E] your last
Just get your civvies ready for another on the shore
[C#m] A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a [E] sailor anymore
Don't crawl on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a [F#] sailing ship, it might be your last
Just [E] get your civvies ready for another on the shore
A [C#m] sailor ain't a sailor ain't a [E] sailor anymore
A sailor ain't a [A] sailor ain't a sailor anymore
A sailor ain't a sailor ain't a [E] sailor anymore
