SONG:A Sailor's Christmas
ALBUM: Christmas Island
CHORDS: Jason Mihok <jasonm@wiredweb.com>
Jimmy Buffett 1996


  A			        D		
A sail on the horizion's got a land fall rendezvous
    A					  D	
The captain steers a well know course he steers her straight and true
       G		   D		   Em			A		
As he trims the sheets he sings a song he learned on boats and bars
   G		       D		A		  D	
"a sailor spends his christmas in the harbour 'neath the stars"

He's travel through the dolddrums, typhoons and hurricanes
He's logged a million soggy miles with water on the brain
But christmas is the season better suited for dry land
He'll tell some lies, meet some spies and dance barefoot in the sand
 
  Bm				     G		   A	
A sailor spends his christmas in the harbor on the hook
G      D        G      D	   E		     A
cali, calais no work today, let's shelve the old log book
    G	          D		Em	   A
The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun
  G		      D                A  	   D 
A sailor spends his christmas in the harbor having fun

There's a party down at LeSelect all music, rum and cheers
Faces in the shadows, I haven't seen for years
The masts and shrouds are filled with lights 'neath the wain of the moon
There's an air of celebration in the realm of King Neptune

Chours
Instrumental

Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea
The north pole is occean's remote frozen balcony
The contienents keep drifting but the children sing and play
cause nothing really matters after all its christmas day

Chorus
A sailor spends his christmas in the harbor having fun
