Cara Dillon - Jacket So Blue
CAPO: 4th Fret
{INTRO:] C D C D
[VERSE 1:]
C F G C
A ship's crew of sailors, as you may understand
G F G
Bound for the West Indies or some foreign land
C F G
There's one lad amongst them I wish I never knew
C F G C
He's my bonnie, bonnie sailor with a jacket so blue
[VERSE 2:]
F G C
The first time I saw my love, he'd a spy glass in his hand
G F G
I went to talk to him, but he would not stand
C F G
I went to talk to him, but from me he flew
C F G Am F G C D F G
And my heart it went along with him and his jacket so blue______
[VERSE 3:]
C F G C
Says I, "My noble sailor, I'll buy your discharge
G F G
I'll free you from sailing and set you at large
C F G
I'll free you from that man-o-war, if your heart does be true
C F G C
And I'd never let a stain on your jacket so blue"
[VERSE 4:]
F G C
"Well" said I, "My noble lady, you'll buy my discharge
G F G
You'll free me from sailing and set me at large
C F G
You'll free me from that man-o-war, if my heart does be true
C F G N.C. C
Ah, but then what would my own lovely Scotch lassie do"
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C D C D C D C D
[VERSE 5:]
C F G C
"For I have a lassie in my own countery
G F G
And I would not slight her for her poverty
C F G
If I were to slight her, then my heart wouldn't be true
C F G Am F G
For she never left a stain on my jacket so blue____"
[VERSE 6:]
C F G C
I'll write off to Dublin to an artist of skill
G F G
And I'll have my love's picture drawn out in its full
C F G
I'll place it in my chamber quite close to my view
C F G C
And I'll say I loved a sailor with a heart that was true
