[Verse]
D            B     Em          A
Thought this time, I'd stay in town
D        G         Em           A
But now be damned, I'm outwards bound
G          G   A        F#m        Em
Me money, it went, for whores and hounds
 Em              A
Off to sea once more
D               B  Em        A        D            G    Em      A
You'd think by now i smarter be, and learnt from past discrepencies
G           A           F#m     Bm
But here am i, headed back to sea
 Em         A         D
Penniless, sick and soare

G                      D
Whores and hounds n' navy rum
 A                         D
They have me broke, they have me numb
G                            D        A       D
A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore

[Verse]
D
The lassies are my hearts delight, but i can't pay them every night
G                  D                               A
And i must look a sorry sight when begging for it free
D                         G
And at the greyhounds guzzling grog, i never picked a winning dog
G                  D                                 A
A sailors life's a hard ol' slug whenever he's on a spree
G                          D
For whores and hounds n' navy rum
  A                       D
They have me broke, they have me numb
G                           D         A        D
A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore

Perhaps it's time to stop the strife, settle down and find a wife
G                D                              A
But then again i love me life, what ever may insue
D
So i'll not fuss, and I'll not fret for i got life within me yet
G                 D                               A
I'll get drunk as i can get, thats what we sailors do
 G                        D
For whores and hounds n' navy rum
 A                         D
They have me broke, they have me numb
G                            D         A       D
A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore

For whores and hounds n' navy rum
A                          D
They have me broke, they have me numb
 G                          D          A      D
A drunken sailor i become whenever im on the shore

Yes i thought this time i'd stay in town

But i'll be back for whores and hounds,
Em       G              A
