Seaman's Blues by Hank Williams Sr.

(standard E tuning)

Chorus:

    D                                           A
    I'm on my way to Italy from the golf of Mexico
                                            D
    Riding on a tanker, and feeling mighty low
                                             A
    My good gals behind me, no lovin' for so long

    I'm going back to Texas, cause that's where I
     D
belong

Verse 1:
    G                           D
    Nights are so lonely on the ocean
    G                                      D
    There's too much time to dream of yesterday
    G                            D
    If I could only carry out my notion
                         A            D
    I'd hit the trail for Texas right away

repeat chorus

Verse 2(same tune as verse 1):

    I never thought when I was leavin'
    I could get so blue out on the sea
    But I'll bet you after all this grievin'
    It's that good ol Texas soil for me

repeat chorus
