Strophe 1:       A5                    F5      G5
            Oh so handsome, oh so strong 
                  A5 
            Tell me stories of distant shores 
                F5        G5
            All night long 
              A5                                    F5   G5
            I shiver all over when I see your lovely tan 
                      A5
            And I can see by your clear blue eyes 
                   F5      G5
            You're a sailor man

                  Sailor man come take my haaa-aaa-aaa-aaand 
            F5        G5            A5        G(s.o.)
                  Sailor man take me along 
            F5               G5              A5

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 

            F5             G5         A5
                  Sailor man, Sailor man (4x)
