A D
A sail on the horizon's got a land fall rendezvous
A
The captain steers a well know course
D
He steers her straight and true
G D
As he trims the sheets he sings a song
Em A
He learned on boats and bars
G D
A sailor spends his Christmas
A D
In a harbor 'neath the stars"
[Verse 2]
A D
He's traveled through the doldrums, typhoons and hurricanes
A
He's logged a million soggy miles
D
with water on the brain
G D
But Christmas is the season
Em A
better suited for dry land
G D
He'll tell some lies, meet some spies
A D
And dance barefoot in the sand
[Chorus]
Bm
A sailor spends his Christmas in
G A
A harbor on the hook
G D G D
cali, calais no work today
Em A
Let's shelve the old log book
G D
The waterfront is reveling
Em A
The season has begun
G D
A sailor spends his Christmas
A D
In a harbor having fun
[Verse 3]
A D
There's a party down at Le Select
A
All music, rum and cheer
D
Faces in the shadows
G D
God I haven't seen for years
G D
The masts and shrouds are filled with lights
Em A
'Neath the waning of the moon
G D
There's an air of celebration in
A D
The realm of King Neptune
[Chorus]
Bm
A sailor spends his Christmas in

The waterfront is reveling

(Instrumental)
[Verse 4]
A D
Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea
A
The North Pole is the ocean's
D
remote frozen balcony
G D
The continents keep drifting
Em A
The children sing and play
G D
Cause nothing really matters
A D
After all its Christmas day
[Chorus]
Bm
A sailor spends his Christmas in
