G         D                 C
He walked in with a salty sway
G              D                C
Lookin' like Blackbeard in his day
G            D               C
A brother in arms just like me
Am7           D
I was born a son of the sea
Em                A7
I can't be still, I can't be tied
Am              D
The only time I, I feel alive is

Chorus:
          G            Em
When the wind fills my sail
       Am7             D
Riding on a lifelong swell
        G             Bm                F D
Let my heart take me where it wants to go
           Am7 D      Em   D
That's the soul of a sailor
     Am7 D     Em   D
The soul of a sailor

He slid a stool and a beer to me
Said, you know, we're both a dying breed
Here's to love lost and newfound friends
And living out life in the boat we're in
I can't be still, I can't be tied
The only time I feel alive is

Chorus

Let my heart take me where it wants to go
That's the soul of a sailor, the soul of a sailor
