Intro:
DmDm Bb majorBb DmDm Bb majorBb

DmDm                Bb majorBb
 Underneath a silver moon, the ship is like a ghost,
C majorC           A augmentedA        DmDm
 She's been out there for a week, just waiting for the wind to blow,
DmDm                      Bb majorBb
 But now she's off and running, and there's nothing I can do,
G minorGm                 A augmentedA
 'Cos I am just a prisoner here until this war is through,
     A7A7
 And I'm singing,

 DmDm       A minorAm
 Sailor, can you hear me,
 G minorGm       DmDm
 Sailor, hear my call,
 DmDm       A minorAm
 Sailor, take me with you,
 G minorGm       DmDm
 Sailor, take me home...

DmDm              Bb majorBb
 Yesterday I saw a seabird wheeling light and low,
C majorC           A augmentedA            DmDm
 Then she sailed off to the west like she was telling me the way to go,
DmDm                Bb majorBb
 If I had her wings my love I'd be with you tonight,
G minorGm                 A augmentedA
 But my last hope has gone, it's drifting out of sight,
      A7A7
 Wait for me,

   DmDm       A minorAm
 Oh Sailor, take me to her,
 G minorGm       DmDm
 Sailor, take me home...

DmDm A minorAm G minorGm DmDm
Dm C majorC Bb majorBb A augmentedA
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb A augmentedA

DmDm        C majorC
 To feel the wind, to see the sky,
Bb majorBb          A augmentedA
 To hear the waves breaking on the shore again,
DmDm       C majorC
 To be with you, to lie with you,
Bb majorBb         A augmentedA
 To hear your voice echo through the hills again,
DmDm       C majorC        Bb majorBb
 Oh my darling wait for me, 'cos I will be there,
  A augmentedA
 When it is over, when it is over,
   Bb majorBb         A augmentedA
 Yes I will return one day,

 DmDm       A minorAm
 Sailor, take me to her,
   G minorGm       DmDm
 Oh Sailor, take me home,
 DmDm       A minorAm
 Sailor, can you hear me,
 G minorGm       DmDm
 Sailor, hear my call,
 DmDm  A minorAm G minorGm  DmDm Dm  A minorAm G minorGm  DmDm
