VERSE 1
********
Em
"Watch for the sailor," say frightened old ladies
Am
He's terrorizing the town
D
Handsome and sprightly though he's nearly ninety
Em
He's never slowing down
The language he'll use when he's been on the booze
Am D
The stories he'd tell, well, they'd never choose to listen
Em
But sometimes they glance at their husbands and sigh
D C D Em C D Em C D
For an old salt sea-dog who winks and gives them the eye
-------------------------
VERSE 2
********
Em
When we were in dock
C D Em C D
We'd flock where the whores go in Rotterdam
Em
In old navy blue
C D Em C D
We'd drink to a new love with every dram
C D
And the blousy hostesses in short frilly dresses
B7 Em
The young and old___
Am D
They'd seen it before, in peace and in war
Em
They'd been bought and sold
-------------------------
CHORUS
*******
Am
And the bars never close
D G D Em
Till they've taken your money for rotgut booze
C
And your head hits the ground
