[Verse 1]
G                      C             G
I once was a sailor, a young man and brave

C         G    Em        D
Da da dum day, da da dum dee

       G
My nights were once sleepless,

       C         G
My peace I would crave

G        Em          D
Carry me home to the sea
[Chorus]

Da de dum day, da da dum dee

C          G            Em         D
Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea

G                        C            G
Worry no more for you're safe now with me

Rest in my arms and my sweet melody
