First Aid Kit – Sailor Song (Ukulele)

         C                     F           
With the first light and the little

G         C
Fragile moon

       C         F             
I was out on the porch now

    G         C
I'm ready for doom

         F            G           C
And it's funny how it all came to be

  F            G                C
The way you so plainly chose to stare at me

C                 F            
And the afternoon embraces you

G                      C
Like a million worried hands

C                  F
And I want to look forward

G                   C
Go discover foreign land

F                   G
In the mirror I was balancing 

C
On tiny strings

F                     G
It looks silly but oh really it's just 

C
A physical thing

C          F
So tell me why you ask me

G          C
To do as I please

C              F
I would rather fall backwards

G          C
And forget everything

F                 G
And I've tried to call on you when

C
I know you're not home

F             G
I'm not ready for this but it's

C
The way it goes

C                  F
It was easier when I knew 

G                    C
Nnothing of what I'd missed 

C                     F        
You're so happy I can see it and that's

G                 C
The worst part of it

F               G
So let her take you out

C
On sea

F                           G
I will wave to you from the harbor

C
Oh little silly me 

Cm          G
The sailors leave in the morning

Cm          G
I'll be waiting for you all night

Cm            G
The ship sets off in the morning

Cm            G
I'll be waiting for you all right

        G        Cm
Oh night

        G        Cm
Oh night

        G        Cm
Oh night

        G
Oh night
