A Sailors Christmas chords by Jimmy Buffett

A             D
A sail on the horizon's got a land fall rendezvous
  A
The captain steers a well know course
D
He steers her straight and true
    G        D
As he trims the sheets he sings a song
  Em         A
He learned on boats and bars
  G          D
A sailor spends his Christmas
   A           D
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
 Bm
A sailor spends his Christmas in
   G        A
A harbor on the hook
G   D    G   D
cali, calais no work today
   E         A
Let's shelve the old log book
  G        D
The waterfront is reveling
  Em       A
The season has begun
 G         D
A sailor spends his Christmas
   A      D
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 sailor spends his Christmas in the harbor having fun
