The Son Of A Sailor Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I'm the son of a sailor
and the seas in my blood
I like bell -bottom trousers
and a deck I can scrub
But the son [G]of a sailor
lives a life that is strange
Stead [D]of sailing [Bm]a whaler
I've been rid[E]ing [D]the range
Yo -ho -ho and a bottle of rum,
let me go where my father's from
I'm the son of a sailor
and [G]the seas in [D]my blood
Yo -ho -ho, yo -ho -ho, yo -ho -ho
I'm the son of a sailor
for the sea I was taught
Love [A]the [D]life of a sailor
with a gal in each port
I'd give [G]my horse and saddle
for a boat that'll float
Instead of [D]pulling a [Bm]paddle,
I've been [E]milking a [D]goat
Yo -ho -ho and a bottle of rum,
let me go my father's rum
I'm the son of a sailor
and the [G]sea's [A]in my [D]blood
Yo -ho -ho, yo -ho -ho, [B]yo -ho [Eb]-ho,
yo -ho -ho, yo -ho [Ab]-ho
[Eb][Ab]
[Eb]He's the son of a sailor
and a man of the deep
Loves [Bb]to l[Eb]ie in a hammock
while it rocks him to sleep
He was [Ab]meant for a schooner,
but he's bent from above
Instead of [Eb]raisin' an anchor,
I've been [Ab]rais[Eb]in' a cow
Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum,
let me go where my father's from
I'm the son of a sailor
and the [Ab]sea's [Bb]in my bl[Eb]ood
He's the [E]son of a sailor,
he's at home on the [B]sea
And the [E]salt of the ocean
tastes like champagne to me
But the [A]son of a sailor
can't get back on his course
In[Gb]stead of [B]ridin' [E]the [Dbm]breakers,
[E]I've been break[B]in' a [E]home
Yo ho ho, in a bottle of rum,
let me go where my father's from
I'm the son of a sailor
and the [A]sea's [B]in my [E]blood
Yo ho ho, yo ho ho, yo ho ho
Yo ho ho, in [B]a bottle of [E]rum,
[B]let me [E]go where my father's from
I'm the son of a sailor
and [A]the sea's [B]in my [E]blood
Yo -ho -ho, Yo -ho -ho, Yo -ho -ho,
Yo -ho -ho, Yo -ho -ho, Yo -ho -ho, Yo Yo
Yo -ho, -ho, -ho -ho,
Yo -ho -ho -ho, -ho, -ho -ho, -ho, Yo
