[D6/A] [A] [D6/A] [Dm6/A] [A]
{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
Sometimes I wish I was a [D6/A]sailor, way out on the stormy [A]sea
Far away from the [D6/A]city, ooh, and all this mise[A]ry
And I wish that I could [D6/A]tell you, just how much you mean to [A]me
No matter where I [D6/A]run to, I'll never lose your memo[A]ry
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
Sometimes I close my eyes and [D6/A]drift away
I can't forget these things I [A]didn't say
I chose the life that took me a[B7/A]way from you [Dm6/A]
And I will be forever [A]blue
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
When you wake up in to[D6/A]morrow, and I'm no longer by your [A]side
Just don't think too much a[D6/A]bout me, and of the many times you [A]cried
And where ever you may [D6/A]wander, may good fortune be your [A]guide
Go and find another [D6/A]lover, one who never leaves your [A]side
{end_of_verse}
