chorus
A# D#
If you've never worked on water, if you've never sailed the sea,
F D# F
then you still have a lot to learn of living strong and free.
A# D#
with your face to the bow and your back to the breeze,
F D# F A#
there's nothing like a sou'west wind to set a mind at ease.
verse
Gm F
Many make their living, drilling deep for oil,
Gm D# F
far away in desert lands, they burn and fight and toil,
A# D#
to make a healthy profit, digging in the ground,
F D# F A#
but I'd rather be a sailor and sail the world around.
verse
Gm F
some might work in factories, or building bigger roads,
Gm D# F
driving dirty deisel trucks, and hauling heavy loads.
A# D#
there's nothing that I wouldnt try to keep my kin alive,
F D# F A#
but I'd rather be a sailor, and watch the world slide by.
chorus
A# D#
If you've never worked on water, if you've never sailed the sea,
F D# F
then you still have a lot to learn of living strong and free.
A# D#
with your face to the bow and your back to the breeze,
F D# F A#
there's nothing like a sou'west wind to set the mind at ease.

verse
Gm F
I know well a sailor's life is not for everyone,
Gm D# F
some can't take the rolling, some can't take the rum.
A# D#
But I was born to ride these waves until my tale is done.
F D# F A#
But I'd rather be a sailor, beneath the salty sun!
F D# F A#
I'd rather be a sailor, beneath the salty sun!
chorus
A# D#
If you've never worked on water, if you've never sailed the sea,
F D# F
then you still have a lot to learn of living strong and free.
A# D#
with your face to the bow and your back to the breeze,
F D# F A#
there's nothing like a sou'west wind to set the mind at ease.
F D# F A#
There's nothing like a sou'west wind to set the mind at ease!
