Daddy Was A Sailor

Key: D

Introduction: Dm    Dm    F    C    Dm    

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.
