O' Sailor
View chords used in this chart
Gm F
I'm undecided about you again
Gm C
Mightn't be right that you're not here
Cm Dm
It's double-sided 'cause I ruined it all
Dmaj7 Bb Bb7
-But also saved myself by never believing you, Dear
Everything good I deem too good to be true
Everything else is just a bore
Everything I have to look forward to
Has a pretty painful and very imposing before
[Refrão]
Dm Am Em Em-Ebm-Dm
O' sailor why'd you do it -What'd you do that for?
Dm Am G
Saying there's nothing to it -And lettin' it go by the boards
I have too been playing with fifty-two cards
-Just 'cause I play so far from my vest
Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard
What could I do, but spend my best
refrão
G# G#/F C/D
And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees
G# G#/F Cm
All the other stuff tired itself out first, not me
G# G#/F C/D
And in its wake, appeared the touch and call of a different breed
Eb Cm D Dm
One who set to get me wise and got me there and then, got me
And what a thing to know what could be instead
Oh, what a blessed curse; to see
It took the agenda from its place in my bed
Made a merry paramour of me
refrão
Dm Am Em Em-Ebm-Dm
O' sailor why'd you do it -What'd you do that for
Dm Am G
Giving me eyes to view it -As it goes by the boards
