Verse 1
G 
This is a true story.
D 
A pit bull tattoo, one good eye of blue
C 
Just wandering still,
G 
but what can you do?
These ropes are all knotting,
D 
tangled round me
C 
Well I'm a sailor who wandered
G 
a little too far from the sea
C 
G 
Did they raise up this child just to die?
A 
D 
To stare for too long into one sky?
G 
D 
Surely Bussy's from Ti ger Bay,
C 
G 
but I'll spend my life down in pill
They shut down the docks,
D 
thrown our lives on the rocks
C 
But my good eye is wandering still
G 
C 
G 
Past the pubs where I festered all day
A 
D 
Transport a bridge, transport me away
G 
These ropes are all knotted,
D 
tangled round me
C 
When I'm a sailor who wandered a little
G 
D 
C 
G 
D 
C 
G 
too far from the sea
They passed in the channel,
D 
great ships by the score
C 
G 
To carry out coal and carry in ore
And at night these old sea legs
D 
were anxious to stray
C 
They come from all over
G 
but never intended to stay
C 
G 
So tell me something I don't know
A 
D 
Find me a skipper with
somewhere to go
G 
These ropes are all knotted,
D 
tangled around me
C 
I'm a sailor who wandered a little too
G 
D 
C 
G 
far from the sea
D 
C 
G 
Thank you so much,
we haven't got long to go,
don't worry, two more songs.
