Intro:

N.C.       C               C
You sailors beware, you sailors beware
                    Gm
There's nothing but blood for you out there.
            F                   F
You sailors beware, you sailors beware
                Am           Am
If only for me

Verse 1:
C                                           Gm
I am the lass, spends every night staring out at the sea
                         F
The very same spot on that cold widows walk
                   Am
Where my Mama died decades before
                  C
LIke mother like daughter like father like son
                 Gm
The sea she lays claim to everyone
                 F
The sirens warm call, the mermaids cruel claws
          Am
Hookin’  each generation in turn.

Chorus:
Am              F
I gave you my body.
              C
I gave you my soul.
                 G
You line my poor pockets
                C
With silver and gold.
                   F7
You left me these children and
            C
You left me alone
          Gm**                Gm**
Won't you please come home to me.
                 F**              Am**        Am**
Sailor won't you please come home to me

Verse 2:

C
Out on the sea,
          Gm
The sky's alight with red and gold.
                  F
The blood of the sailors who drift dead below
            Am
For the unreachable gold they were told.
                       C
In the spring of Aught Five, three centuries ago
              Gm
A hundred and ten men lost their lives.
              F
Pointless and cruel the cannons that rule
        Am
Markin’ each death at the bottom of the sea.


Chorus:
Am              F
I gave you my body.
              C
I gave you my soul.
                 G
You line my poor pockets
                C
With silver and gold.
                   F7
You left me these children and
            C
You left me alone
          Gm
Won't you please come home to me.
                 F               Am**       Am**
Sailor won't you please come home to me.

There's nothing but blood for you out there.
            F**                  F**
You sailors beware, you sailors beware,
                Am*
If only for me.
