Daddy Was a Sailor
guitar chords lyrics
Hi, guys. I know this is not perfect. The intro and the first part of the verses
were quite hard to figure out and I'm sure that there's a better solution for it.
I just didn't find it out :D
So if you know how to play it better, please, contact me ! Also for critisism,
suggestions, requests or anything you want to tell me, feel free to do so, for
example in my comments.
So I really love Marina, she is a fantastic artist and I'm sure I'm going to do a
lot more of her.
I hope you're having fun with it. :)

Dm
Grandpa was a miner, and he gave me my black art,
Dm
Glittered rivers of black coal-dust tore our country apart,
C F
Covered in coal-dust, waking up too early in the morning,
C F D
Covered in coal-dust, waiting for the moment the canary sings.
Dm
Mama was a mermaid and a carnaby street gal,
Dm
She could have been a model, but she spent her life mopping up spilt milk,
C
Covered in sea salt, would he, could he be home
F D
when the stars came out to party,
C
Covered in sea salt, yeah I know it was my fault,
F D
but he always ran away 'cause he didn't want me.
C F D Gm
Oh, Daddy was a sailor, and he gave me a black heart,
C F D Gm
Daddy was a sailor, the only man that could tear me apart
C F Dm Gm
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy,
C F D
Daddy, Daddy, Da-a-ddy.
Dm
Sister dances salsa, and she cha-cha's like a Queen,
Dm F
I was a non-believer when she told me I was free,
C F
Aunty Emmy was a medium, oh she worked the Ouija board.
C F D
Seeking out the lost souls, and taking them back to the Lord.
C F D Gm
Oh, but Daddy still was a sailor, and he gave me a black heart,
C F D Gm
Daddy was a sailor, the only man that could tear me apart
C F Dm Gm
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy,
C F Dm Gm
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy,
C F Dm Gm
Ahh, Ahh, Ahh, Ahh,
C Gm F
Ahh, Ahh a.
Hope you enjoyed. - mangomelodies.
