G                      C             G
I once was a sailor, a young man and brave
C         G    Em        D
Da da dum day, da da dum dee
       G
My nights were once sleepless,
       C         G
My peace I would crave
G        Em          D
Carry me home to the sea

[Chorus]
G              C          G
Da de dum day, da da dum dee
C          G            Em         D
Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea
G                        C            G
Worry no more for you're safe now with me
C          G           D         G
Rest in my arms and my sweet melody

[Verse 2]
G                             C           G
One night as I'm stood on the deck in the rain
C         G   Em         D
Da da dum day, da da dum dee
  G                             C          G
I heard a sweet voice and she's singing my name
C         G          D
Carry me back to the sea

[Chorus]
G              C          G
Da de dum day, da da dum dee
C          G            Em         D
Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea
G                        C            G
Worry no more for you're safe now with me
C          G           D         G
Rest in my arms and my sweet melody

G C G C G Em D G C G C G D G

[Verse 3]
   G                     C        G
Oh rock me so gently now ocean so deep
C         G    Em        D
Da da dum day, da da dum dee
  G                        C             G
I wish I was back, cause I think I can't sleep
C        G            D
Carry me home to the sea

[Chorus]
G              C          G
Da de dum day, da da dum dee
C          G            Em         D
Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea
G                        C            G
Worry no more for you're safe now with me
C          G           D         G
Rest in my arms and my sweet melody
