The Longest Johns
D
(início)
D G D A I've been roaming all my life, and now I've found a lady wife, I'm staying right here D G D A D Oh, I won't go sailing anymore, I won't obey the oceans call, I'm staying right here
Chorus
D G D A I'll be a man of the land, I'll be a man of the trees, I'll be a man, wherever my woman will be D G I won't be any captains mate, I won't be servant of the seas; D A D A D 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
Verse
D G D A At 14 I was Cabin boy, to fearsome Captain Buckleroy, I'm staying right here D G D A D When I was sick he ordered cat-a-nine, until I said that I felt fine, I'm staying right here,
Chorus
D G D A I'll be a man of the land, I'll be a man of the trees, I'll be a man, wherever my woman will be D G I won't be any captains mate, I won't be servant of the seas; D A D A D 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
Verse
D G D A At 20 I manned that crows nest and captain said "I was the best", I'm staying right here, D G D A D but I nearly lost my eyes to god, just looking out for old cape cod, I'm staying right here
Chorus
D G D A I'll be a man of the land, I'll be a man of the trees, I'll be a man, wherever my woman will be D G I won't be any captains mate, I won't be servant of the seas; D A D A D 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
Verse
D G D A At 25 no man alive could match my skills for gun'en, I'm staying right here, D G D A D But the Captain he got drunk one night and sank the blasted cannon, I'm staying right here,
Chorus
D G D A I'll be a man of the land, I'll be a man of the trees, I'll be a man, wherever my woman will be D G I won't be any captains mate, I won't be servant of the seas; D A D A D 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
Verse
D G D A Captain died at 28 and by then I was his first mate, I'm staying right here D G D A D Oh they tried to give me his command but I was hungry for the land, I'm staying right here,
Chorus
D G D A I'll be a man of the land, I'll be a man of the trees, I'll be a man, wherever my woman will be D G I won't be any captains mate, I won't be servant of the seas; D A D A D 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
Verse
D G D A Stepped ashore at Felix stow and made for Bristol by the road, I'm staying right here, D G well I fell in love, when, first, I saw, her, Avon county's finest daughter, D A D and now she's got me staying right here, hoo-hey!
Chorus
D G D A I'll be a man of the land, I'll be a man of the trees, I'll be a man, wherever my woman will be D G I won't be any captains mate, I won't be servant of the seas; D A D A D 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
Outro
D G D A I'll be a man of the land, I'll be a man of the trees, I'll be a man, wherever my woman will be D G I won't be any captains mate, I won't be servant of the seas; D A D A D 'Cause this pretty little woman is all I need
