[Intro]
C C Em Em (x2)

[Verse 1]
  C              Em
I saw her in the rightest way
G
Looking like Anne Hathaway
C                  Em
Laughing while she hit her pen
    G
And coughed, and coughed
    C                 Em
And then, she came up to my knees
G
Begging, baby, would you please?
C                  Em
Do the things you said you'd do
   G
To me, to me

[Chorus]
              C              
Oh, won't you kiss me on the 
            Em
mouth and love me like a sailor?
    G
And when you get a taste, 
can you tell me what's my flavor?
  C                       
I don't believe in God, but 
       Em
I believe that you're my savior
   G
My mom says that she's worried,
 but I'm covered in His favor
    C                        
And when we're getting dirty,
      Em
 I forget all that is wrong
  G
I sleep so I can see you 
'cause I hate to wait so long
  C                         
I sleep so I can see you and 
   Em
I hate to wait so long
G G

[Verse 2]
     C              Em
She took my fingers to her mouth
    G
The kind of thing that
 makes you proud
     C                Em
That nothing else had ever
        G
Worked out, worked out
    C             Em
And maybe I tried other things
     G
But nothing can capture the sting
C             Em               G
Of the venom, she's gonna spit out right now

[Chorus]
              C             
Oh, won't you kiss me on the
           Em
 mouth and love me like a sailor?
    G
And when you get a taste, 
can you tell me what's my flavor?
  C                        
I don't believe in God, but 
      Em
I believe that you're my savior
  G
I know that you've been worried,
 but you're dripping in my favor
    C                       
And when we're getting dirty, 
       Em
I forget all that is wrong
   G
I sleep so I can see you
 'cause I hate to wait so long
   C                   
I sleep so I can see you
        Em
 and I hate to wait so long
G G

[Outro]
    C                       Em
And we can run away to the walls
 inside your house
G
I can be the cat, baby, 
you can be the mouse
    C               
And we can laugh off 
                Em
things that we know nothing about
G
We can go forever 
until you wanna sit it out

How to play Sailor Song: key, chords and progression

These are Sailor Song chords by Gigi Perez for Piano and Ukulele.

Sailor Song by Gigi Perez is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 3 chords in all: C, Em and G.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Em – G – C (I – iii – V – I in C major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
