Sailor's Rest - Stan Rogers - Home In Halifax - Chords
Note - I'm not exactly sure how he does the little thing at the beginning of the
chorus, but I played around with my guitar a bit, and what I've got there sounds
pretty good to me :P
It's Gacrimony Ddown in the card-Groom, with Cwinning hands thrown on the baize
For-Dgotten cards wait on the end of debate on theC good oldD7 days
GCaptains and mates gettin' tesG7-ty, with Cmemories not of the A7best
And Gtempers are flyin', Cdown at the Sailor's GRest
GBlue eyes Din wrinkled GMo-rocco, stiCll search the horizon for squalls
And DZeroes in the sky, and the watchkeeper's eye, and theC pawnshopD7 balls
The Gspice in the wind off ofG7 Java, and the Cbars in Papeete were A7best
But the Gdeck is too steady, Cdown at the Sailor's GRest
CHORUS
D-D7-D7sus4 G7 C
And, oh, how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
When Emafter the years, all the Cstorms and the tears, still Amvery much a-Dlive
D7-D7sus4 G7 C
And, oh, how their lives were spilled out on the floor
From the Embattered old seabags, the Amjournals and logs
And the kEmeepsakes locked in the cA7hests
That were Gstowed in the attic, Cdown at the Sailor's GRest
No Grail on the Dmessroom Gtable, and you're Cdead if you spit on the floor
DNo grog allowed, no singin' too loud, and nCo locks on thD7e doors
But there's Galways a fire in the G7card room, and the Ctucker is always the A7best
And they'll Gend it together, Cdown at the Sailor's GRest
CHORUS
D-D7-D7sus4 G7 C
And, oh, how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
When Emafter the years, all the Cstorms and the tears, still Amvery much a-Dlive
D7-D7sus4 G7 C
And, oh, how their lives were spilled out on the floor
From the Embattered old seabags, the Amjournals and logs
And the kEmeepsakes locked in the cA7hests
That were Gsold at the auction, Cdown at the Sailor's GRest
So iGt's acrimonyD down in Gthe card-room, witCh winning hands thrown on the baize
DFor-gotten cards wait on the end of debate Con the good oD7ld days
GCaptains and mates gettin' tG7es-ty, with Cmemories not of the A7best
But they'll Gend it together', Cdown at the Sailor's GRest
It's Gacrimony Ddown in the card-Groom
