Once a Sailor
Bob Ruzicka recorded by Valdy
[Verse 1]
D G
It's gonna be clear sailin' in the morning,
Em A D
It's gonna feel like God was on your side,
G
It's gonna be clear sailin' in the morning,
Em A D
With the wind at your back, and your runnin' with the tide,
[Verse 2]
D G
And it may not be the answer, it may not set you free,
Em A
I know, it's not for everyman, just runnin' off to sea,
D G
With a fresh wind in the morning', a bright red sky at night,
Em A
I will sail to heaven's door and say, "I've seen the light!".
[Verse 3]
F Bb
I heard you say you had your problems,
F Bb
I heard you say your jobs' got you down,
F C Dm
I heard you say your ol' lady left you,
Gm C
And you friends all let you down.
[Chorus]
Bb F
Well you might have been a sailor,
Bb F
Spent your whole damn life at sea,
Bb Am
But only crazy fools and failures,
Gm C F Bb F Bb
Ever dare to live that free
[Verse 4]
F Bb
Heard you say "you woulda been a free-ramblin' man,
F Bb
But some lover hid your travelin' shoes!".
F Em Dm
Only God could love a gambler,
Gm C
Who tries that hard to lose.
[Chorus]
Bb F
Still, you might have been a sailor,
Bb F
Spent your whole damn life at sea,
Bb Am
But only crazy fools and failures,
Gm C F Bb F Bb
Ever dare to live that free!
[Verse 5]
