Rather Be A Sailor

Written by Séan McCann

	  		

           D                                G 
If you've never worked on water, if you've never sailed the sea, 
     A                 G               A 
then you still have a lot to learn of living strong and free. 
           D                        G 
with your face to the bow and your back to the breeze, 
         A                              G      A       D 
there's nothing like a sou'west wind to set a mind at ease. 



Bm                        A 
Many make their living, drilling deep for oil, 
Bm                             G                  A 
far away in desert lands, they burn and fight and toil, 
    D                      G 
to make a healthy profit, digging in the ground, 
         A                      G        A       D 
but I'd rather be a sailor and sail the world around. 



Bm                                 A 
some might work in factories, or building bigger roads, 
Bm                                G              A 
driving dirty deisel trucks, and hauling heavy loads. 
         D                             G 
there's nothing that I wouldnt try to keep my kin alive, 
         A                       G         A          D 
but I'd rather be a sailor, and watch the world slide by. 

 

           D                                G 
If you've never worked on water, if you've never sailed the sea, 
     A                 G               A 
then you still have a lot to learn of living strong and free. 
           D                        G 
with your face to the bow and your back to the breeze, 
         A                              G        A       D 
there's nothing like a sou'west wind to set the mind at ease. 



Bm                              A 
I know well a sailor's life is not for everyone, 
Bm                            G                   A 
some can't take the rolling, some can't take the rum. 
D                                    G 
But I was born to ride these waves until my tale is done. 
         A                     G         A     D 
But I'd rather be a sailor, beneath the salty sun! 
     A                     G         A     D 
I'd rather be a sailor, beneath the salty sun! 



           D                                G 
If you've never worked on water, if you've never sailed the sea, 
     A                 G               A 
then you still have a lot to learn of living strong and free. 
           D                        G 
with your face to the bow and your back to the breeze, 
         A                              G        A       D 
there's nothing like a sou'west wind to set the mind at ease. 
         A                               G       A       D 
There's nothing like a sou'west wind to set the mind at ease!
