F Some of us sailors call her our own, G C I guess that's the reason why, I treat her like a lady, Am just treat her like a lady. 1. C Now I don't like the sound of the ground movin' 'round, F or winds spinnin' out of control, G California earthquakes, only seem to make a' me, C shake, rattle, and roll. C I've been too long on the mainland, F hotels, rental cars, and phones. G Time to cast 'em aside, catch the very next tide, C and go back, where I belong. (repeat chorus) 2. Now great whales travel the rhumb lines, dodging those deadly harpoons. Spawning their young, like their ancestors done, in the depths of her hidden lagoons. There are times I find myself with them, and times I feel as they do. We're on a similar course, it's just a different source, but I'm in danger of extinction too. (repeat chorus, then) Em And miss her when I'm gone. Em Em Am Lady, lady, treat her like a lady. Lady, lady, treat her like a lady. Lady, lady, (got to) treat her like a lady. Lady, lady, treat her like a lady. Lady, lady. Lady, lady. Lady, lady...(fade) -------------------------------------------------------- (This is my own arrangement off the box set.)
