Verse:
There’s a G Port Bm on a Am Western Em bay
And it Am serves C a hundred F ships a C day
Lonely G sailors Bm pass the Am time a Em way
And Am talk C about their G homes
And there’s a G girl Bm in this Am harbor Em town
And she Am works C layin’ F whiskey C down
They say G Brandy Bm fetch a Am nother Em round
She Am serves them C whiskey and G wine
Chorus:
The sailors say Em Brandy you’re a C fine girl (you’re a fine girl)

Your G eyes could steal a D sailor from the
C sea (do,do…) G Am | C
Verse:
G Brandy Bm wears a Am braided Em chain
Made of Am finest C silver from the F north of C
A G locket Bm that Am bears the Em name
Of the Am man that C Brandy G loves

Bringing Am gifts C from F far C away
But he G made it Bm clear he Am couldn’t Em stay
No Am harbor C was his G home
Chorus:
The sailors say Em Brandy you’re a C fine girl (you’re a fine girl)
What a Em good wife you would C be (such a fine girl)
But my G life my lover my D lady is the

When he C told his sailor’s D stories
