Captains and mates gettin' tes-ty, with memories not of the best 1 4 * 1 And tempers are flyin', down at the Sailor's Rest 1 5 1 4 * Blue eyes in wrinkled Mo-rocco, still search the horizon for squalls 5 * 4 5 And Zeroes in the sky, and the watchkeeper's eye, and the pawnshop balls 17 * 4 2?? The spice in the wind off of Java, and the bars in Papeete were best 1 4 * 1 But the deck is too steady, down at the Sailor's Rest CHORUS ONE: 5 * 17 4 And, oh____ how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived 6m 4 2m 5 When after the years, all the storms and the tears, still very much a-live 5 * 17 4 And, oh____ how their lives were spilled out on the floor 6m 2m 6m 27 And the keepsakes locked in the chests 1 4 * 1 That were stowed in the attic, down at the Sailor's Rest 1 5 1 4 * No rail on the messroom table, and you're dead if you spit on the floor 5 * 4 5 No grog allowed, no singin' too loud, and no locks on the doors 17 * 4 2?? But there's always a fire in the card room, and the tucker is always the best 1 4 * 1 And they'll end it together, down at the Sailor's Rest CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO NOTES: SAILOR'S REST (PAGE TWO) CHORUS TWO: 5 * 17 4 And, oh____ how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived 6m 4 2m 5 When after the years, all the storms and the tears, still very much a-live 5 * 17 4 And, oh____ how their lives were spilled out on the floor 6m 2m 6m 27 / And the keepsakes locked in the chests 1 4 * 1 That were sold at the auction, down at the Sailor's Rest 1 5 1 4 * So it's acrimony down in the card-room, with winning hands thrown on the baize 5 * 4 5 For-gotten cards wait on the end of debate on the good old days 17 * 4 2??
