Intro 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 1
Helpless (F major)
like a (E minor) butterfly
Released (G major) from its cocoon (F major) (C major)
She fol (F major) lows the moon beside (E minor) her bed
to the (G major) window of her room (F major) (C major) (G major)
He (F major) has fled to the street (E minor) below
where the (G major) sun is chasing the moon (F major) (C major)
She did (A minor) not have time
to change (E minor) his mind
and (F major) spin him on her loom (C major)
For (A minor) he only came to steal (E minor) her warmth
and (F major) then leave her maroon (C major)
And (D minor) now he's gone back to (C major) his ship
of (D minor) sails after noon (C major) (G major)
Didn't (F major) you see the (E minor) trap you laid?
How (G major) could you trust its grin? (F major) (C major)
It (F major) was an old tricky (E minor) plate
and a (D minor) hole it left you in (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major)
How (F major) can I tie the (E minor) dawn threads?
(G major) Where do I (D minor) begin?
(F major) (C major) Let (A minor) us walk to the (E minor) river
and (F major) watch the sunlight swim (C major)
In the (A minor) city they'll hear us talk (E minor) ing
Through (F major) walls so thick yet thin (C major)
But (D minor) now he's gone back to (C major) his ship
Do (D minor) not be afraid of (C major) him (G major)
The (F major) hour will come
when your wings (E minor) have dried
I'll (G major) not leave you to fly (C major)
When (F major) you forget the (E minor) sailor lied
with the (D minor) words of your
favourite song (C major) (G major)
You'll (F major) laugh when you remem (E minor) ber
you cried on the (D minor) pillow he lay on (F major) (C major)
Then (A minor) you'll hear me talk (E minor) ing,
with (F major) words I've invented for (C major) you
Fruit (A minor) we share will taste sweeter, (E minor)
than (F major) your dry lips ever knew (C major)
For (D minor) now the ship has sailed, (C major)
and the (D minor) sailor with it too (C major) (G major) (G major)
(G major) you
The Sailor
