INTRO (accordion and recorder): A  D
  A  E  D  A

                        D      
I'm thinking 'bout when I was a 
         A
sailor
                       D    G    A
I spent my time on the open sea
When we'd stay off the coast of 
  G
Jamaica
    A5                    D A5
I'd secretly steal ashore
     G5                   D
When natives were waiting for
A5                         D5 A5
The boy with the lazy soul
   E              D
To sing with a sailor


CHORUS:
A         E    A  E7 A
Vahevala, home of sailor
          E   A    E7    A
Vahevala, homeward sail away
          E    A  E7 A
Vahevala, home of sailor
          E   A    E7    A
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Em                   A
Every evening I'd be gone
Em                        A     
Back on board by break of 
E      A
dawn____


                       G        
I'm thinking 'bout the nights in 
          A
Jamaica

                     D        G   
Pretty girls dancing here and 
    A
there
                        G          
Stole a keg and now I'm drunk as a 
       D
sailor
    A5                    D A5
And captain he don't know
                    G5  D
Where Billy he done go
    A5                             
But I'm singing with native girls
D5 A5

    E                            
The songs of a sailor (songs of a 
    D
sailor)

Vahevala, homeward sail away
Em                 A
Every sailor sail away
              Em                   
You better be back on board by 
     A     E
break of day____

BRIDGE:
      A                     D
Every night in Jamaica, I'd sing 
with the lady
    A                           
And drink with the men, 'til the 
 E         A
morning appear
                      D
Well, the sunshine is fresh on my 
face
       A                      E
As the song of the night puts the 
ring in my ear
