SAILOR'S REST Time: 4/4 (sync) Tenor: G Bass: G
- Stan Rogers, 1982, on: Home in Halifax
INTRO: 1, 4, *, 1
1 5 1 4 *
It's acrimony down in the card-room, with winning hands thrown on the baize
5 * 4 5
For-gotten cards wait on the end of debate on the good old days
17 * 4 2??
Captains and mates gettin' tes-ty, with memories not of the best
1 4 * 1
And tempers are flyin', down at the Sailor's Rest
1 5 1 4 *
Blue eyes in wrinkled Mo-rocco, still search the horizon for squalls
5 * 4 5
And Zeroes in the sky, and the watchkeeper's eye, and the pawnshop balls
17 * 4 2??
The spice in the wind off of Java, and the bars in Papeete were best
1 4 * 1
But the deck is too steady, down at the Sailor's Rest
CHORUS ONE:
5 * 17 4
And, oh____ how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
6m 4 2m 5
When after the years, all the storms and the tears, still very much a-live
5 * 17 4
And, oh____ how their lives were spilled out on the floor
6m 2m
>From the battered old seabags, the journals and logs /
6m 27
And the keepsakes locked in the chests
1 4 * 1
That were stowed in the attic, down at the Sailor's Rest
1 5 1 4 *
No rail on the messroom table, and you're dead if you spit on the floor
5 * 4 5
No grog allowed, no singin' too loud, and no locks on the doors
17 * 4 2??
But there's always a fire in the card room, and the tucker is always the best
1 4 * 1
And they'll end it together, down at the Sailor's Rest

CHORUS TWO:
5 * 17 4
And, oh____ how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
6m 4 2m 5
When after the years, all the storms and the tears, still very much a-live
5 * 17 4
And, oh____ how their lives were spilled out on the floor
6m 2m
>From the battered old seabags, the journals and logs /
6m 27
/ And the keepsakes locked in the chests
1 4 * 1
That were sold at the auction, down at the Sailor's Rest
1 5 1 4 *
So it's acrimony down in the card-room, with winning hands thrown on the baize
5 * 4 5
For-gotten cards wait on the end of debate on the good old days
17 * 4 2??
Captains and mates gettin' tes-ty, with memories not of the best
1 4 * 1
But they'll end it together', down at the Sailor's Rest
