A Sailors Christmas chords by Jimmy Buffett

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA             D MajorD
A augmentedA sail on the horizon's got a land fall rendezvous
  A augmentedA
The captain steers a well know course
D MajorD
He steers her straight and true
    G+G        D MajorD
As he trims the sheets he sings a song
  E minorEm         A augmentedA
He learned on boats and bars
  G+G          D MajorD
A augmentedA sailor spends his Christmas
   A augmentedA           D MajorD
In a harbor 'neath the stars"

He's travel through the doldrums, typhoons and hurricanes

He's logged a million soggy miles with water on the brain

But Christmas is the season better suited for dry land

He'll tell some lies, meet some spies

And dance barefoot in the sand

Chorus
 B minorBm
A augmentedA sailor spends his Christmas in
   G+G        A augmentedA
A majorA harbor on the hook
G+G   D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD
cali, calais no work today
   E MajorE         A augmentedA
Let's shelve the old log book
  G+G        D MajorD
The waterfront is reveling
  E minorEm       A augmentedA
The season has begun
 G+G         D MajorD
A augmentedA sailor spends his Christmas
   A augmentedA      D MajorD
In a harbor having fun

There's a party down at Le Select
All music, rum and cheer
Faces in the shadows
God I haven't seen for years
The masts and shrouds are filled with lights
'Neath the waning of the moon
There's an air of celebration in
The realm of King Neptune

Chorus

Instrumental

Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea
The North Pole is the ocean's remote frozen balcony
The continents keep drifting
The children sing and play
Cause nothing really matters
After all its Christmas day

Chorus
A augmentedA sailor spends his Christmas in the harbor having fun
