              Ay Ay sailor 
 
 
Dm    B A       Dm      Bb  A  D        Bb C Bb 
 
Dm                       
I thought I loved a tailor man, 
Bb 
Until I saw the sailor man 
A                              Dm 
About twice the size of me  and also strong 
He put my heart in such a mess 
Until I heard myself say yes 
When he asked me if I will sail along 
 
 
 
 
F 
Ay ay sailor  or my my sailor 
    Bb                    C 
You sure done something to me 
 
Bye, bye tailor, goodbye bye tailor 
 
Let go I've got to be free 
A             Dm 
I wanna sail away with him 
C                     F 
That's where I love to be 
F 
Along with my  my sailor 
F 
So ay, ay sailor 
    Bb                  F 
You know I joined you at sea 
 
 
Bb A  Dm

Dm 
I used to lead a normal day 
Bb 
And always walked the easy way 
A                                  Dm      B  C 
And I have planned to spend my life ashore 
Dm 
He'll take me to another world 
Bb 
Of which I've only read and heard 
A                                    Dm        C  
And we will sail what's left for ever more  
 
 
 
 
F 
Ay ay sailor, or my my sailor 
    Bb                    C 
You sure done something to me 
 
Bye, bye tailor, goodbye bye tailor 
 
Let go I've got to be free 
A            Dm    
I wanna sail away with him, 
C                      F 
That's where I love to be 
F 
Along with my, my sailor

You know I joined you at sea
