"Sailor's Lament" by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Found on the album Pendulum

Verse:
G                 C     G
Woke up early feelin' light
         D  C   G
Shame, it's a shame
                    C    G
Somebody got to me last night
         D  C   G
Shame, it's a shame

Sat down for a friendly duel
Shame, it's a shame
With one-eyed jacks and jokers, too
Shame, it's a shame


Chorus:
        C    G
Ooh, sailor man
        D   C   G
Shame, it's a shame 
       C     G
Ooh, sailor man
        D   C   G
Shame, it's a shame 

Poormouth Henry turned on me
Shame, it's a shame 
Said, "Boy, I'm gonna pick you clean."
Shame, it's a shame 

Henry said, "Don't you mess that pile,"
Shame, it's a shame
Had three aces 'n' he had five
Shame, it's a shame

Enjoy!
