The Sailor

Intro 
F#m E  A F#m 

 
A   F#m         A 
Our love's postponed 
                          D      F#m 
Like I'm a soldier posted out in Rome 
D                            A     F#m    A 
But like a sailor, I'll be comin' home 
              A       D       F#m    
After leaving you for months alone 
 

 
C#  F#m 
Oh, in my dreams 
You're waiting for me 
E               
Sitting at the docks 
D                        E 
Or darling, maybe you forgot? 
 

 
A    F#m       Bm     E          A 
I don't think I will ever understand 
    F#m       Bm         E               A 
Why you don't want me to take you by the hand 
              F#m7        Bm            E      A    F#m 
Oh, I'll be standing here waiting for a sign 
Bm     E                 A    F#m   Bm   E 
Hoping one day you'll be mine

A   F#m     A 
I long for you 
                     D    F#m 
Every time I smell a marigold 
D                            A      F#m     A 
You always told me we'd be growing old 
                A       D       F#m    
But you left me with a burnin' soul 
 

 
C#  F#m 
Oh, in my dreams 
You're waiting for me 
E               
Sitting at the docks 
D                          E 
But when I woke up, you forgot

I don't think I will ever understand

Why you don't want me to take you by the hand 
               F#m              Bm             E   A F#m 
Still, I'll be standing waiting till the day I die 
Bm     E                 A    F#m7  Bm  E 
Hoping one day you'll be mine
