O Sailor Poor Sailor
How long you been gone
When youre out in the water
Thinking about home
O sailor poor sailor
How long you been gone
I'm searching my heart for the wreckage I love
If youre seeking adventure in treasures unknown
Like the smell of ambergris and [Bm]the shine of the gold
They have long [Am]since faded and [Bm]theres sorrow in me
That ɾuns deep in the words of the songs that you [A7sing
O sailor poor sailor
How long [Am]you [A7been gone
When youre out in the water
Thinking about home
O sailor Poor Sailor
How long [Am]you [A7been gone
I'm searching my [A]heart for [Dm7]the wreckage I love
I look out the window at the shape of the moon
I throw a log on [C7]the fire and [Bm]it crackles in doom
There's a storm in your future its gonna take you [A7away
And I'll watch the waves crash for [Dm7]the ɾest of my [A]days
O sailor poor sailor
How long [Am]you [A7been gone
When youre out in the water
Thinking about home
O sailor poor sailor
How long [Am]you [A7been gone
I'm searching my [A]heart for [Dm7]the wreckage I love
