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 Facrimony Gdown in the card-Froom, with Fwinning hands thrown on the baize
For-Ggotten cards wait on the end of debate on theF good oldC7 days
FCaptains and mates gettin' tesC7-ty, with Fmemories not of the D7best
And Ftempers are flyin', Fdown at the Sailor's FRest
FBlue eyes Gin wrinkled FMo-rocco, stiFll search the horizon for squalls
And GZeroes in the sky, and the watchkeeper's eye, and theF pawnshopC7 balls
The Fspice in the wind off ofC7 Java, and the Fbars in Papeete were D7best
But the Fdeck is too steady, Fdown at the Sailor's FRest
CHORUS
G-C7-G7sus4 C7 F
And, oh, how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
When Dmafter the years, all the Fstorms and the tears, still Dmvery much a-Glive
C7-G7sus4 C7 F
And, oh, how their lives were spilled out on the floor
From the Dmbattered old seabags, the Dmjournals and logs
And the kDmeepsakes locked in the cD7hests
That were Fstowed in the attic, Fdown at the Sailor's FRest
No Frail on the Gmessroom Ftable, and you're Fdead if you spit on the floor
GNo grog allowed, no singin' too loud, and nFo locks on thC7e doors
But there's Falways a fire in the C7card room, and the Ftucker is always the D7best
And they'll Fend it together, Fdown at the Sailor's FRest
CHORUS
G-C7-G7sus4 C7 F
And, oh, how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
When Dmafter the years, all the Fstorms and the tears, still Dmvery much a-Glive
C7-G7sus4 C7 F
And, oh, how their lives were spilled out on the floor
From the Dmbattered old seabags, the Dmjournals and logs
And the kDmeepsakes locked in the cD7hests
That were Fsold at the auction, Fdown at the Sailor's FRest
So iFt's acrimonyG down in Fthe card-room, witFh winning hands thrown on the baize
GFor-gotten cards wait on the end of debate Fon the good oC7ld days
FCaptains and mates gettin' tC7es-ty, with Fmemories not of the D7best
But they'll Fend it together', Fdown at the Sailor's FRest
It's Facrimony Gdown in the card-Froom
