Sailor's Rest - Stan Rogers - Home In Halifax - Chords
Note - I'm not exactly sure how he does the little thing at the beginning of the
chorus, but I played around with my guitar a bit, and what I've got there sounds
pretty good to me :P
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)
It's acrimony down in the card-room, with winning hands thrown on the baize
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) D7For-gotten (xx0212@1)cards wait on the end of debate on the good old days
G (320003@1) G7 (320001@1) C (x32010@1) A7Captains (x02020@1)and mates gettin' tes-ty, with memories not of the best
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GAnd (320003@1)tempers are flyin', down at the Sailor's Rest
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)
Blue eyes in wrinkled Mo-rocco, still search the horizon for squalls
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) D7And (xx0212@1)Zeroes in the sky, and the watchkeeper's eye, and the pawnshop balls
G (320003@1) G7 (320001@1) C (x32010@1) A7The (x02020@1)spice in the wind off of Java, and the bars in Papeete were best
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GBut (320003@1)the deck is too steady, down at the Sailor's Rest
CHORUS
D-D7-D7sus4 G7 (320001@1) CAnd, (x32010@1)oh, how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) DWhen (xx0232@1)after the years, all the storms and the tears, still very much a-live
D7-D7sus4 G7 (320001@1) CAnd, (x32010@1)oh, how their lives were spilled out on the floor
Em (022000@1) AmFrom (x02210@1)the battered old seabags, the journals and logs
Em (022000@1) A7And (x02020@1)the keepsakes locked in the chests
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GThat (320003@1)were stowed in the attic, down at the Sailor's Rest
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)
No rail on the messroom table, and you're dead if you spit on the floor
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) D7No (xx0212@1)grog allowed, no singin' too loud, and no locks on the doors
G (320003@1) G7 (320001@1) C (x32010@1) A7But (x02020@1)there's always a fire in the card room, and the tucker is always the best
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GAnd (320003@1)they'll end it together, down at the Sailor's Rest
CHORUS
D-D7-D7sus4 G7 (320001@1) CAnd, (x32010@1)oh, how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) DWhen (xx0232@1)after the years, all the storms and the tears, still very much a-live
D7-D7sus4 G7 (320001@1) CAnd, (x32010@1)oh, how their lives were spilled out on the floor
Em (022000@1) AmFrom (x02210@1)the battered old seabags, the journals and logs
Em (022000@1) A7And (x02020@1)the keepsakes locked in the chests
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GThat (320003@1)were sold at the auction, down at the Sailor's Rest
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)
So it's acrimony down in the card-room, with winning hands thrown on the baize
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1) D7For-gotten (xx0212@1)cards wait on the end of debate on the good old days
G (320003@1) G7 (320001@1) C (x32010@1) A7Captains (x02020@1)and mates gettin' tes-ty, with memories not of the best
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GBut (320003@1)they'll end it together', down at the Sailor's Rest
G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) GIt's (320003@1)acrimony down in the card-room
