A Sailors Christmas

• A

 
  A			        D		 
A sail on the horizon's got a land fall rendezvous 
    A					  	 
The captain steers a well know course  
D 
He steers her straight and true 
       G		   D		    
As he trims the sheets he sings a song  
   Em			A		 
He learned on boats and bars 
   G		       D			 
A sailor spends his Christmas  
      A		         D 
In a harbor 'neath the stars" 
 
He's travel through the doldrums, typhoons and hurricanes 
He's logged a million soggy miles with water on the brain 
But Christmas is the season better suited for dry land 
He'll tell some lies, meet some spies  
And dance barefoot in the sand 
 
 
Chorus  
  Bm					 
A sailor spends his Christmas in 
     G		   A 
A harbor on the hook 
G      D        G      D	 
cali, calais no work today 
      E		     A 
Let's shelve the old log book 
    G	          D		 
The waterfront is reveling 
   Em	       A 
The season has begun 
  G		      D                 
A sailor spends his Christmas 
     A  	   D 
In a harbor having fun  
 
There's a party down at Le Select 
All music, rum and cheer 
Faces in the shadows 
God I haven't seen for years 
The masts and shrouds are filled with lights 
'Neath the waning of the moon 
There's an air of celebration in 
The realm of King Neptune 
 
Chorus  
 
Instrumental 
 
Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea 
The North Pole is the ocean's remote frozen balcony 
The continents keep drifting  
The children sing and play 
Cause nothing really matters  
After all its Christmas day 
 
Chorus 
A sailor spends his Christmas in the harbor having fun
