AmF Underneath a silver moon, the ship is like a ghost,
GEAm She's been out there for a week, just waiting for the wind to blow,
AmF Now she's off and running, and there's nothing I can do,
DmE 'Cos I am just a prisoner here until this war is through, and I'm singing,
AmEm Sailor, can you hear me,
DmAm Sailor, hear my call,
AmEm Sailor, take me with you,
DmAm Sailor, take me home...
AmF Yesterday I saw a seabird wheeling light and low,
GEAm Then she sailed off to the west like she was telling me the way to go,
AmF If I had her wings my love I'd be with you tonight,
DmE But my last hope has gone, it's drifting out of sight, then I'm singing,
AmEm Sailor, can you hear me,
DmAm Sailor, hear my call,
AmEm Oh Sailor, take me to her,
DmAm Sailor, take me home...
AmG To feel the wind, to see the sky,
FE To hear the waves breaking on the shore again,
AmG To be with you, to lie with you,
FE To hear your voice echo through the hills again,
AmCDm Oh my darling wait for me, I will be there,
E When it is over, when it is over, when it is over,
 
AmEm Sailor, take me to her,
DmAm Oh Sailor, take me home,
AmEm Sailor, can you hear me,
DmAm Sailor, hear my call,
AmEm Sailor,
DmAm
