Sea Stories Sturgill Simpson
(Verse 1)
Ba[E]sic was just like paw paw said, "[A]keep your mouth shut and you'll be [E]fine"
Just another enlisted egg, in the bowl for uncle Sam's be[B7]ater
Wh[E]en you get to Dam Neck you hear a voice in your head saying "My l[A]ife's no longer mine"[E]
Have you running with some S[A]AD SO[E]G BM[B7]F sin eat[E]ers
(Verse 2)
Well you h[E]it the ground running in Tokyo to Kaw[A]asaki to Eb[E]isu
Yokosuka, Yokohama, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Roppongi & [B7]HarajukuÂ
On to Bu[E]san, Pohang, Pattaya to Phuket, Sing[A]apore to Kuala Lum[E]pur
See[A]ing damn near the wh[E]ole damn world from the in[B7]side of a b[E]ar
(Chorus)
I got se[A]a stories, and they're all tr[E]ue
My seem a bit far fetched, why would I[B7] lie to you
Memories in i[A]nk forever stained still got s[E]alt runnin through my veins
I got sea stories, and my sh[B7]ell back too
(Verse 3)
Some[E]times sirens send a ship off course, hor[A]izon gets so ha[E]zy
Maybe get high, play a little goldeneye, on that ole [B7]64
And if y[E]ou get sick, and can't manage to kick, and get you[A]rself kicked out of the Navy
And spend the ne[E]xt year trying to score from a futon, li[A]fe raft on the floor
And the ne[E]xt fifteen trying to figure out what t[B7]he hell you did that fo[E]r
Well flying high beats dying for lies in a politi[B7]cians wa[E]r
