[INTRO]
[E] [D] [A] [D]
[A] [E] [A] [D]
[A] [E] [A] [E]
[VERSE 1]
With a [A]lady-like [A]devotion
She [A]sails the bitter [A]ocean
If it [D]wasn't for lovesick [D]sailors
There'd be [D]nothin' left but [A]flotsam
[CHORUS]
Singin' [E]why me oh [D]my
Is there a [A]better man than [D]I
I hope you [A]find your way back [E]home
Before you [A]lie high and [D]dry
I hope you [A]find your way back [E]home
Before you [A]die [E]
[VERSE 2]
Her [A]sails blow like [A]bubbles
While ya [A]sip yer daily [A]doubles
If she [D]wasn't so fond of the [D]weather
She might [D]give the deckhands [A]trouble
[CHORUS]
Singin' [E]why me oh [D]my
Is there a [A]better man than [D]I
I hope you [A]find your way back [E]home
Before you [A]lie high and [D]dry
I hope you [A]find your way back [E]home
Before you [A]die [E]
[VERSE 3]
One [A]day when I grew [A]older
And I [A]found I could not [A]hold her
She [D]took on a fine young [D]skipper
Who soon [D]run her up on a [A]boulder
[CHORUS]
Singin' [E]why me oh [D]my
Is there a [A]better man than [D]I
I hope you [A]find your way back [E]home
Before you [A]lie high and [D]dry
I hope you [A]find your way back [E]home
Before you [A]die [E]
[VERSE 4]
Now the [A]pleasures of the [A]harbor
Don't [A]include a lady [A]barber
If it [D]wasn't for Long John [D]Silver
All of us [D]pirates would've been [A]martyrs
CHORUS and END (repeat last 4 lines one time)
