Verse 1:

C
I love a sailor,
    F            C
The sailor loves me,
                G7    G9 G7 C   G7
And sails ev'ry night to my home

C                      F              C
He's not a sailor that sails o'er the sea
   D7                  G7  GdimG7
Or over the wild briny foam

    C
For he owns an airship
    F            C
And  sails up on high
                 G7   G9 G7  C    C7
He's just like a bird on the wing,

    F        Gbdim      C            Am
And when the shadows of evening draw nigh
      D7                    G7   GdimG7
He'll sail to my window and sing

Chorus:

C                      C7
Come take a trip in my air ship
F
Come take a sail 'mong the stars
G7          G9          G7  G9
Come have a ride around Ven-us
C                           G7
Come have a spin around Mars

C                           C7
No one to watch while we're kiss ing
F                      Dm
No one to see while we spoon
G7                     G9  G7
Come take a trip in my air ship
          C          F          C   G7
And we'll  visit the man in the moon

Verse 2:

C                         F             C
One night, while sailing a way from the crowds
                      G7   G9G7    C  G7
We passed through the milk-y white way
C                     F            C
Just idly sailing and watching the clouds
   D7                       G7 G9G7
He asked me if I'd name the day

    C                       F           C
And right near the dipper I gave him my heart
                  G7  G9  G7 C    C7
The sun shines on our hon-ey  moon
   F               Gbdim    C           Am
We swore from each other we never would part
    D7                        G7  GdimG7
And teach all the babies this tune

Chorus Repeat:
C
