Intro 
     F              Eb5 
When my man goes to sea 
   F                 Eb5 
He steps so high and free 
  F                 Eb5 
I think I know as I watch him go 
        F               Eb5     F       Eb5 
That he has no need for me, for me 
F     Eb5 
    F                 Eb5 
And when my man comes home 
    F                Eb5 
And waits a while to roam 
  F                 Eb5 
I think I see as he smiles at me 
          F               Eb5       F       Eb5 
that he's dreaming of the foam, the foam 
F    Eb5 


[Verso 1]
 
   Bb          F 
Im not a pious Christian 
      Bb           Eb 
And I do not go to mass 
      Ab      Db     Ab 
But I pray to father Neptune 
   Bb             F 
To let him safely pass 
 


[Refrão]
 
  F                        Eb5 
I sing to the god with the three-pronged rod 
        F                 Bb 
And the whiskers wild and free 
    F                    Eb5 
But ive got a man with a beard and a tan 
      Bb              F 
And a passion for the sea 
 


[Ponte]
 
   Bb                F 
He rides through the foam 
    Bb           F 
The cold and the warm 
       F                 C7 
And he loves to risk his neck 
        Bb      C7            Bb     C7           Bb     C7       F 
And I'd like to know when he goes below that it's just below the deck 
 


[Verso 2]
 
   Bb              F 
Oh Neptune, father Neptune 
    Bb                Eb 
Ill tell you fair and true 
        Ab         Db      Ab 
That if you should lose my sailor 
    Bb              F 
Ill sing no more to you 
 


[Refrão]
 
         F                   Eb5 
When hes home from sea he is half with me 
        F                     Bb 
And hes gone when I close the door 
        F                       Eb5 
And its still his creed that he has no need 
      Bb            F 
For a wife except onshore 
 


[Ponte]
 
  Bb         F 
I know its a boat 
     Bb         F 
That keeps him afloat 
      F                 C7 
But I like to think its me 
 

Outro 
    F                  C7 
And if it were not for this 
        Db7         C7            F     Eb5 
I would sink to the depths of the sea 
F   Eb5    F
