Strophe 1:       Am                    F7M      G6
            Oh so handsome, oh so strong 
                  Am 
            Tell me stories of distant shores 
                F7M        G6
            All night long 
              Am                                    F7M   G6
            I shiver all over when I see your lovely tan 
                      Am
            And I can see by your clear blue eyes 
                   F7M      G6
            You're a sailor man 

 
Refrain:      F7M        G6             Am       G(nur ganz kurz)
                  Sailor man from polar land 
            F7M        G6               C    G   Am  Em    
                  Sailor man come take my haaa-aaa-aaa-aaand 
            F7M        G6            Am        G(s.o.)
                  Sailor man take me along 
            F7M               G6              Am
            Show me the Port-au-Prince and Hong Kong 


Interlude:      Am  F7M  G6  (2x)


Strophe 2:      (Akkorde wie in Strophe 1)
            Sailor man I hope you won't drown 
            I'd rather have you showing me Cape Town 
            You know your ways in New York, New York 
            Where we can go to bars 
            A strong blonde handsome sailor 
            Norwegians call you Lars 

Refrain:      Sailor man from polar land 
            Sailor man come take my hand 
            Sailor man I'd gladly die 
            To see the ports of Rostock and Shanghai 

            F7M             G6         Am
                  Sailor man, Sailor man (4x)
