The Byrds Jack Tarr The Sailor written by Roger McGuinn
Corrections provided by Roger McGuinn
Am G Am G Am When first I came to Liverpool I went upon the spree G E Me money at last I spent it fast got drunk as drunk could be Am G E And when my money was all gone it was then that I wanted more Am G Am G Am But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more
Am G Am G Am
Am G Am G Am I spent the night with Angeline to drunk to roll in bed
Me watch it was new and my money was too
G E And the morning with them she fled Am G E And as I roamed the streets of Bath the whores they all would roar Am G There goes Jarr Tarr the poor sailor Am G Am Am G Am G Am He must go to sea once more Am G Am G Am As I walking down the steet I ran into Rapper Brown G E I asked him for to take me in and he looked at me with a frown Am G E He said last time you was on board with me you job no score Am G But I'll take your advance and I'll give you the chance Am G Am Am G Am G Am And I'll send you to sea once more Am G Am G Am They shipped me aboard of a whaling ship bound for the Artic Sea
Where the cold winds blow thru the frost and the snow
G E Jamaica rum would freeze Am G E A'las I had no luck with my gear for I left my money ashore Am G Am G Am It was then that I wished that I was there safe with the girl's Am ashore
Am G Am G Am
Am G Am G Am Come all ye boat seafaring lads who listen to my song G E And when you come off them long trip pray that you don't go wrong Am G E Take my advice drink no strong drink don't go sleeping with no whores Am G Am G Am But get married lads and have all night in and go to to sea no more
From the "Ballad Of Easy Rider" LP Columbia Records 1969
