A Sailor's Christmas by Jimmy Buffett


              A Sailor's Christmas 


Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo

[Verse 1]
A                          D
A sail on the horizon's got a land fall rendezvous
    A
The captain steers a well know course
D
He steers her straight and true
       G               D
As he trims the sheets he sings a song
   Em                  A
He learned on boats and bars
   G                   D
A sailor spends his Christmas
      A                     D
In a harbor 'neath the stars"
 
[Verse 2]
A                                 D
He's traveled through the doldrums, typhoons and hurricanes
    A
He's logged a million soggy miles
   D
with water on the brain
    G                   D
But Christmas is the season
  Em                   A
better suited for dry land
     G                  D
He'll tell some lies, meet some spies
   A                      D
And dance barefoot in the sand
 
[Chorus]
  Bm
A sailor spends his Christmas in
     G               A
A harbor on the hook
G      D        G      D
cali, calais no work today
      Em                 A
Let's shelve the old log book
    G                D
The waterfront is reveling
   Em             A
The season has begun
  G                  D
A sailor spends his Christmas
     A           D
In a harbor having fun
 
[Verse 3]
A                          D
There's a party down at Le Select
A
All music, rum and cheer
D
Faces in the shadows
G                       D
God I haven't seen for years
G                           D
The masts and shrouds are filled with lights
  Em                      A
'Neath the waning of the moon
G                            D
There's an air of celebration in
A                     D
The realm of King Neptune
 
[Chorus]
  Bm
A sailor spends his Christmas in
     G               A
A harbor on the hook
G      D        G      D
cali, calais no work today
      Em                 A
Let's shelve the old log book
    G                D
The waterfront is reveling
   Em             A
The season has begun
  G                  D
A sailor spends his Christmas
     A           D
In a harbor having fun
 
(Instrumental)
 
[Verse 4]
A                          D
Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea
A
The North Pole is the ocean's
D
remote frozen balcony
G                    D
The continents keep drifting
Em                    A
The children sing and play
G                      D
Cause nothing really matters
A                        D
After all its Christmas day
 
[Chorus]
  Bm
A sailor spends his Christmas in
     G               A
A harbor on the hook
G      D        G      D

      Em                 A
Let's shelve the old log book
    G                D
The waterfront is reveling
   Em             A
The season has begun
  G                  D
A sailor spends his Christmas
     A           D
In a harbor having fun
  G                  D
A sailor spends his Christmas
       A              D
in the harbor having fun
