Biography:
Stanley Allison Rogers (November 29, 1949 – June 2, 1983) was a Canadian folk musician and songwriter.
Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.

Sailor's Rest - Stan Rogers - Home In Halifax - Chords
Note - I'm not exactly sure how he does the little thing at the beginning of the
chorus, but I played around with my guitar a bit, and what I've got there sounds
pretty good to me :P
G D G C
It's acrimony down in the card-room, with winning hands thrown on the baize
D C D7
For-gotten cards wait on the end of debate on the good old days
G G7 C A7
Captains and mates gettin' tes-ty, with memories not of the best
G C G
And tempers are flyin', down at the Sailor's Rest
G D G C
Blue eyes in wrinkled Mo-rocco, still search the horizon for squalls
D C D7
And Zeroes in the sky, and the watchkeeper's eye, and the pawnshop balls
G G7 C A7
The spice in the wind off of Java, and the bars in Papeete were best
G C G
But the deck is too steady, down at the Sailor's Rest
CHORUS
D-D7-D7sus4 G7 C
And, oh, how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
Em C Am D
When after the years, all the storms and the tears, still very much a-live
D7-D7sus4 G7 C
And, oh, how their lives were spilled out on the floor
Em Am
From the battered old seabags, the journals and logs
Em A7
And the keepsakes locked in the chests
G C G
That were stowed in the attic, down at the Sailor's Rest
G D G C
No rail on the messroom table, and you're dead if you spit on the floor
D C D7
No grog allowed, no singin' too loud, and no locks on the doors
G G7 C A7
But there's always a fire in the card room, and the tucker is always the best
G C G
And they'll end it together, down at the Sailor's Rest
CHORUS
D-D7-D7sus4 G7 C
And, oh, how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
Em C Am D
When after the years, all the storms and the tears, still very much a-live
D7-D7sus4 G7 C
And, oh, how their lives were spilled out on the floor
Em Am
From the battered old seabags, the journals and logs
Em A7
And the keepsakes locked in the chests
G C G
That were sold at the auction, down at the Sailor's Rest
G D G C
So it's acrimony down in the card-room, with winning hands thrown on the baize
D C D7
For-gotten cards wait on the end of debate on the good old days
G G7 C A7
Captains and mates gettin' tes-ty, with memories not of the best
G C G
But they'll end it together', down at the Sailor's Rest
G D G
It's acrimony down in the card-room
