                          I Swear Like A Sailor






Tuned ½ step down
(Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
Intro:
Am - G - C
[Am] Well I've grown [G] so [C] tired, 
Traveling [Am] off to distant lands, beg [G] to go [C] further every mile 
[Am] Cause the sea is an [G] awful [C] home 
and the [Am] tide just makes the land seems [G] so much more [C] empty and alone 
*[Same rhythm as intro]
[Am] Hold fast and steady this tour has no [G] ending in [C] sight 
Tell the [Am] crew to get ready, they're in for the [G] ride of their [C] lives 
[Am] Holding your arms as I stare into your [G] Dramamine [C] eyes 
I [Am] saw this storm coming, I watched it damn [G] near every [C] night 
Cause it [C] hurts so much to [G] wake up the way the [Am] swallow birds sing 
All I [C] wanted was a [G] pale blue floor to [Am] sleep 
And I've [C] traveled a thousand [G] miles across this [Am] endless empty sea 
And all I [C] wanted was an [G] angel, she came to [Am] me 
[Am] Murder your captain for abandoning [G] this sinking [C] ship 
In a [Am] bedroom with gypsies they capture me with [G] loose, salty [C] lips 
[Am] Apologize cause your apology hold [G] fast and [C] fires 
I [Am] tremble, I shake like a sinner who's [G] standing on [C] trial 
Cause it [C] hurts so much to [G] wake up the way the [Am] swallow birds sing 
All I [C] wanted was a [G] pale blue floor to [Am] sleep 
And I've [C] traveled a thousand [G] miles across this [Am] endless empty sea 
And all I [C] wanted was an [G] angel, she came to [Am] me 
And every [Am] time I [G] drink, I'll watch that [C] old boat sink 
And I'll [Am] send a [G] letter out, another [C] bottle 
And I'll [Am] forget about the [G] torture of that [C] sick, unhealthy sea 
And I'll [Am] scribble down "please [G] maiden, come back to [C] me"
Cause it [C] hurts so much to [G] wake up the way the [Am] swallow birds sing 
All I [C] wanted was a [G] pale blue floor to [Am] sleep 
And I've [C] traveled a thousand [G] miles across this [Am] endless empty sea 
And all I [C] wanted was an [G] angel, she came to [Am] me
