Intro: C majorC / A minorAm / G+G / C majorC

C majorC      A minorAm       G+G       C majorC
If I was a sailor I would sail you out to sea
C majorC          FF      C majorC    G+G
Take you across the ocean, ask you to marry me
A minorAm       FF       G+G      C majorC
Oh if I was sailor I would sail you home to me


And if I was a soldier I would march to war for you
I'd face every bullet and cannonball that flew
Oh if I was a soldier I would wage a war for you
And if I was a jailer I would lock you away
Then I'd have the key to see you each and every day
Oh if I was a jailer I would still have you today
And if I was a rich man I'd buy you flowers every day
But I am a poor man so I'll pick them on the way
Oh if I was a rich man I would pay to make you to stay.

Chorus:

A minorAm          E minorEm
I've wasted so much time
FF          G+G       C majorC
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
A minorAm          E minorEm
I've wasted so much love
FF          G+G       C majorC
Now I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.

And if I had an aeroplane then I'd fly you away
Maybe we go to rome or paris for the day
Oh if I had an aeroplane then I'd whisk you away
And if I was a betting man I'd bet you love me too
I'd bet everything I had for the chance to be with you
Oh if I was a betting man my odds are 9-2.

A minorAm          E minorEm
I've wasted so much time
FF          G+G       C majorC
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
A minorAm          E minorEm
I've wasted so much love
FF          G+G       C majorC
Now I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.
A minorAm          G+G        A minorAm
Yeah I wish I'd never learnt to play a note
FF          G+G       C majorC
Oh I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.

(Solo + Chorus)

And if I was a writer I would write a book on you
I'd tell them all the stories of the things we used to do
Oh if I was a writer I would write a book on you
And if I was a painter I'd paint portraits of you
Hang them in the galleries like all good painter do
Oh if I was a painter I'd paint potraits of you.
