Tracy Chapman - I Used to Be a Sailor: chords

A               D
I used to be a sailor
A                       D
Who sailed across the seas
A                   D
But now I'm just an island
             G            D
Since they took my boat away from me
    A D
Oh no

Chorus:
A             D           G
I don't like being stationary
A           D          G
I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea
A          D                F
I sit and rot behind these padded walls
            G
Hoping one day they'll fall
             A  D
And set me free

He wrote his epitaph
He wrote his eulogy
It said "I think that I can die now
For my true love won't come for me"
Oh no

Chorus

I used to be a sailor
Who sailed across the seas
But now I'm just an island
Since they to

Chorus

Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
