Misc Originals – Chris Tulloch - Landlocked Pirate - I Want To Go A-Sailing (Guitar)

   C            G        Am              F
I want to go a-sailing, across the ocean wide

   C             G             Am            F
I want to see a mermaid, King Neptune at her side

   F                   G                      F               G
I don’t know what I’ll find out there, in the vast and empty blue

    F                 G7             C
Per-haps I’ll come a-sailing home to you!

   C                G             Am           F
My mama always told me, I should take a job a-shore

     C              G               Am             F
She told me to work in the docks, a muscled steve-dore

      F             G              F               G
But I knew I had to go to sea, am-ong the waves I could be free

      F              G7              C
Some-day I’ll come a-sailing home to you!

   C            G            Am           F
Oh Ruby now my darling, I’ve got to go a-way

    C                      G        Am                F
But you’ll be well looked after, Ev’ry white stocking day

   F                  G                       F                     G
I don’t know how long I’ll be gone, but your name will always be my song

    F                 G7             C
You know I’ll come a-sailing home to you!

     C               G                 Am             F
And when my sailing days are done, my feet now on un-moving ground

       C                      G          Am           F
We’ll build a cottage on the shore, sur-rounded by fa-miliar sounds

   F               G                   F                  G
Of oc-an winds and crashing waves, of seagulls’ cries and booming caves

    F               G              F        G
You know I won’t be sailing in the blue –

    F                    G7                C
You know I’ll stay right here at home with you!

    F                    G7                C
You know I’ll stay right here at home with you!
