Kickass song by Sturg. Listen to hear the rythm and strumming patterns
Capo 1
[Verse 1]
E A E
Basic was just like paw paw said, "keep your mouth shut and you'll be fine"
B7
Just another enlisted egg, in the bowl for uncle Sam's beater
E A E
When you get to Dam Neck you hear a voice in your head saying "My life's no longer mine"
A E B7 E
Have you running with some SAD SOG BMF sin eaters
[Verse 2]
E A E
Setting out on them high seas feels just like being born
B7
That first port call in Thailand feels like a pollywog turning nineteen
E A E
They've got king cobras fighting in boxing rings and all the angels play Connect Four
A E B7 E
Seems like a sailor's paradise but turns out to be a bad dream
[Verse 3]
E A E
Well you hit the ground running in Tokyo to Kawasaki to Ebisu
B7
Yokosuka, Yokohama, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Roppongi & Harajuku
E A E
On to Busan, Pohang, Pattaya to Phuket, Singapore to Kuala Lumpur
A E B7 E
Seeing damn near the whole damn world from the inside of a bar
[Chorus]
A E
I got sea stories, and they're all true
B7
Might seem a bit far fetched, why would I lie to you
A E
Memories in ink forever stained still got salt runnin' through my veins
B7 E
I got sea stories, and my shell back too
[Solo]
|A |E |E |B7
|A |E |E B7 |E
[Verse 4]
E A E
Sometimes sirens send a ship off course, horizon gets so hazy
B7
Maybe get high, play a little GoldenEye, on that ole 64
E A
And if you get sick, and can't manage to kick, and get yourself kicked out of the Navy
E A
And spend the next year trying to score from a futon, life raft on the floor
E B7 E
And the next fifteen trying to figure out what the hell you did that for
B7 E
Well flying high beats dying for lies in a politicians war
