Sailor Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G]
[C]You ain't gonna get me, honey, no [G]way

[Verse 1]
[C]Tearing down the highway
in the [G]pouring rain
Es[C]caping from my wedding [G]day
I [C]heard the bells ringing in the [G]local church
The cere[C]mony's nearly under[G]way
[C]Te legrams came
and the [G]cheap champagne
Was driving [C]everybody out of their [G]brains
But I con[C]vinced my best friends
[G]I lost my nerve
And I [C]pleaded I was being [G]framed

[Chorus 1]
[D]"Sailor, show me which way to go"
I screamed out loud
[D]"Sailor, show me which way to go"
Ow!

[Verse 2]
Such a [C]deadly silence
Due to [G]my defiance
The [C]wedding ground to a [G]halt
Said, "I [C]changed my mind
Ain't no [G]use in your trying"
So her [C]brother punched me in the [G]throat
Her [C]mother got hysterical
The [G]bitch was cynical
[C]Father's in the corner [G]drunk
Picking my[C]self off the floor
I [G]ran to the door
Damned if [C]I was skippin' on my w[C]ay ha ha

[Chorus 2]
[D]"Sailor, show me which way to go"
You shoulda heard the noise
Said, [D]"Sailor, show me which way to go"

[Interlude 1]
Whoo!
[C][F]
[C](Ain't no woman going to marry
[F]me for a darts player [C]-- [F]woo)[C][C]

[Verse 3]
So [C]keep clean girlie
Find a [G]man that's truly
Gonna [C]love you from dusk till [G]dawn
Keep your [C]front door key
Don't give him [G]up for me
'Cause to[C]morrow I may be [G]gone
You see, your [C]would- be keepers
just spend [G]all night sleepin'
No[C]body gonna change in [G]there
Who thinks a [C]married life should just be
[G]like a dog's life
So let's re[C]new it
when the year runs [G]out, that's right

[Chorus 3]
[D]"Sailor, show me which way to go"
She's all yours
[D]"Sailor, show me which way to go"

[Outro 1]
Whoa
[E][E][E][E]
[E][E][E][E]
[E][E][E][E]
She had a [E]belly full of lust
but she [E]had no bust
[E][E]
[E][E][E][E]
[E][E][E][E]
[E][E][E][E]
[E][E][E][E]
[E][E][E][E]
[E][E][E][E]
