[D] [B] [Em]
[A] [D]
[G] [A] I
[D] thought [B] this time [Em] I'd stay [A] in town, [D] But now, [G] be damned, [Em] I'm [A] outward bound.
[G] May money [A] it'll end [G] for [F#m]
whores [Bm] and hounds, [Em] Off to sea [A] once more.
[D] You'd think by [B] now [Em]
I'd smarter [A] be, [D] And learn [G] from past [Em] [A] discrepancies.
[G] But here [A] am I, [F#m] headed back to [Bm] sea, [Em] Any [A] less sick [D] and sore.
[G] For whores and [D] hounds and heavy [A] rum, They have me [D] broke, they have me [G] numb.
A drunken [D] sailor I've become, Whenever I'm on the shore.
[G] [D] [A]

[D] [G] [D] [A]
[D] [G] [D] [A]
[D] The lassies [A] are my heart's [D] delight, But I can't pay them every [G] night.
And I must [D] look a sorry sight, When begging for it [A] free.
[D] That grave has got one drop, You never pick a winning [G] dot.
A sailor's [D] life's a hard old slot, Whenever he's on the spree.
[G] For whores and [D] hounds and heavy [Em] rum, They [A] have me [D] broke, they have me [G] numb.
A drunken [D] sailor [G] I've [D] become, Whenever I'm on the shore.

[D] [G] [D] [A]
[D] [G] [D] [A]
[D] [G] [D] [G] [A]
[D] Perhaps it's [A] time to stop [D] strife, Settle down and find a [G] wife.
But then [D] again, I love me life, [G] Whatever [A] may ensue.
[D] So I'll not fuss and I'll not fret, For I've got life within me [G] yet.
I'll get [D] drunk as I can get, That's what we sailors do.
[G] For whores and [D] hounds and heavy [A] rum, They have me [D] broke, they have me [G] numb.
A drunken sailor I've become, [A] Whenever I'm [D] on the shore.

[D] [A] [D] Yes, I thought [B] this time [Em] I'd stay in [A] town,
But [D] oh, once [G]
again [Em] I'm [A] seaward bound.
[G] That I'll [A] be back for [F#m] the [Bm] whores and hounds,
Who [Em] keep calling [G]
out to [A] me,
[Em] When I [A] return from [D] sea.
