[Verse]
G D
She's everything you look for in that kind of woman
A D
She'll drink whiskey and dance till the champagnes all gone
G D
She'll be right there when the air from the ocean is calling
A D
Telling you, sailor beware something is wrong.
[Chorus]
D G D
But touching her might make you lose those blues tonight
G D
Holding her might stop the pain in time
G D
Kissing her might take away the loneliness you feel
G A D
But Loving Her Will Make You Lose Your Mind.
[Verse]
G D
Just like the moon and the stars she'll be gone in the morning
A D
Leaving you empty and drained, like the tide you'll be low
G D
Looking for something to take that will make it all better
A D
You'll try to buy her with presents, but sailor I know.
[Chorus]
D G D
But touching her might make you lose those blues tonight
G D
Holding her might stop the pain in time
G D
Kissing her might take away the loneliness you feel
G A D
But Loving Her Will Make You Lose Your Mind.
[Outro]
A D
Yes, telling you, sailor beware something is wrong.

Chorus:

Take the jib sail down boys, take the jib sail down

Turn this ship around boys, before we run aground

The Fish Aren't Biting Today boys, Fish Aren't Biting Today

I’m gonna lay on my bunk and get drunk as a skunk

There's six-foot waves and my stomach craves
A D
Some good old Antiguan rum
G
I put some away for a rainy day
A D
And the rain she's starting to come now.
D G
There's a northern wind and the lights are dim
A D
Like a good fresh Cuban cigar
G
I got me a hutch where there might be a bunch
A D
In the captain's pickle jar.

MERLE AND ME
G D A G D (X2)
G D
Back in 1953
A
We stole a car old Merle and Me
G D G
Never thinking we'd be put in jail.
D
You might say that we were green
A
I was barely seventeen
G D
When they put those bars between old Merle and Me.
G D
Late one night we hit the wall
A
Twenty feet we had to fall
G D
To the ground where we could craw into the weeds.
G D
Waiting for that shotgun blast
A
Never thinking we could last
G D
We sure had to grow up fast, old Merle and Me.
[Chorus]
G D
We were young and crazy then
A
It was easy to pretend
G D
Acting like we'd never been in reform school.
G D
Looking danger in the eye
A
Walking with our heads held high
G D
We were not afraid to die, old Merle and Me.
G D A G D
G D
We were living by the gun
A
Never caring what we'd done
G D
Swearing it was all just fun and games you know.
G D
We would die and go to hell
A
Before we broke our vow to tell
G D
How we escaped that prison cell, old Merle and Me.
G D
How was Merle or Me to know
A
We would end up on death row
G D
Waiting for our turn in the electric chair.
G D
Shot down in a grocery store
A
We got busted at the door
G D
Praying wasn't easy for, old Merle and Me.
[Chorus]
G D
We were young and crazy then
A
It was easy to pretend
G D
Acting like we'd never been in reform school.
G D
Looking danger in the eye
A
Walking with our heads held high
G D
We were not afraid to die, old Merle and Me.
