Chords
SOL RE SOL DO
It's acrimony down in the card-room, with winning hands thrown on the baize
RE DO RE7
For-gotten cards wait on the end of debate on the good old days
SOL SOL7 DO LA7
Captains and mates gettin' tes-ty, with memories not of the best
SOL DO SOL
And tempers are flyin', down at the Sailor's Rest
SOL RE SOL DO
Blue eyes in wrinkled Mo-rocco, still search the horizon for squalls
RE DO RE7
And Zeroes in the sky, and the watchkeeper's eye, and the pawnshop balls
SOL SOL7 DO LA7
The spice in the wind off of Java, and the bars in Papeete were best
SOL DO SOL
But the deck is too steady, down at the Sailor's Rest
CHORUS
RE-D7-D7sus4 SOL7 DO
And, oh, how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
MIm DO LAm RE
When after the years, all the storms and the tears, still very much a-live
RE7-D7sus4 SOL7 DO
And, oh, how their lives were spilled out on the floor
MIm LAm
From the battered old seabags, the journals and logs
MIm LA7
And the keepsakes locked in the chests
SOL DO SOL
That were stowed in the attic, down at the Sailor's Rest
SOL RE SOL DO
No rail on the messroom table, and you're dead if you spit on the floor
RE DO RE7
No grog allowed, no singin' too loud, and no locks on the doors
SOL SOL7 DO LA7
But there's always a fire in the card room, and the tucker is always the best
SOL DO SOL
And they'll end it together, down at the Sailor's Rest
CHORUS
RE-D7-D7sus4 SOL7 DO
And, oh, how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
MIm DO LAm RE
When after the years, all the storms and the tears, still very much a-live
RE7-D7sus4 SOL7 DO
And, oh, how their lives were spilled out on the floor
MIm LAm
From the battered old seabags, the journals and logs
MIm LA7
And the keepsakes locked in the chests
SOL DO SOL
That were sold at the auction, down at the Sailor's Rest
SOL RE SOL DO
So it's acrimony down in the card-room, with winning hands thrown on the baize
RE DO RE7
For-gotten cards wait on the end of debate on the good old days
SOL SOL7 DO LA7
Captains and mates gettin' tes-ty, with memories not of the best
SOL DO SOL
But they'll end it together', down at the Sailor's Rest
SOL RE SOL
It's acrimony down in the card-room
