Seaman's Blues

Capo 1


D                                        A
I'm on my way to Italy, from the Gulf of Mexico
                                   D
Ridin' on a tanker, feelin' mighty low
                                          A7
My good gal's behind me, no lovin' for so long
                                                D
I'm goin' back to Texas, cause that's where I belong


G                         D
Life got so lonely on the ocean
G                                       A
There's too much time to dream of yesterday
G                            D
If I could only carry out my notion
    A7                            D
I'd hit the trail for Texas right away



D                                        A
I'm on my way to Italy, from the Gulf of Mexico
                                       D
Ridin' on a tanker, and feelin' mighty low
                                              A7
But my good gal's behind me, no lovin' for so long
                                                D
I'm goin' back to Texas, cause that's where I belong


G                          D
I never thought when I was leavin',
G                              D
I could get so blue out on the sea
G                               D
But I'll bet you after all this grievin',
A7                               D
It's that good ol' Texas sun for me




    D                                        A
For I'm on my way to Italy, from the Gulf of Mexico
                                       D
Ridin' on a tanker, and feelin' mighty low
                                              A7
My good gal's behind me, and no lovin' for so long
                                                D
I'm goin' back to Texas, cause that's where I belong
