Key: D

-1-1-3 -3-2*32  -1   -1   4 
I am a sail-or stout and bold
 -5  5 -3 -4 3   -3      2 -1  -1
Long time I’ve ploughed the o-cean
 -1    -1   -3  -3-2*3 2  -1  -1   4
I’ve fought for king and coun-try too
-5  5-3 -43 -3  2  -1  -1
Won hon-or and pro-mo-tion
-1 -3   -4   4   -3  -5 5-4
I said: My broth-er sail-or
-4-3-5 5 -3  -5
I bid you a-dieu
-5  5   5  -3  -4   -4  3 -3 -3 3  2
No more to the sea will I go with you
 2    -1  -3 -3  -3-2*3 2
I’ll trav-el the coun-try
   -1   -1     4
Through and through
-5  5 -3 -4 3 -3    2    -1  -1
And I’ll be a ram-bling sail-or
