Yankee Sailor by Great Big Sea Album: Safe Upon the Shore Capo on 2nd Fret. After watching Alan play this song many times on Youtube, I think I've figured out the progression. Chords: G C Em D e----3----3----0----2---| B----3----3----0----3---| G----0----0----0----2---| D----0----2----2----0---| A----2----3----2----x---| E----3----x----0----x---| Intro G G C G G We were poor G But I was satisfied C G And I thought that you were, too G You were pure G And I was terrified C G I wasn't good enough for you G When they sailed G Into the harbour C G I could see it in your eyes G I knew Em That you were dreaming C G Of leaving me behind Chorus G D G You say "America is beautiful" D Em And I sure hope you're right D G If I could see you across the water C D Em I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" C D G I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" Bridge G G C G G When I met G That Yankee sailor C G He stood tall and shook my hand G He took pleasure G In the moment C G In the measure of a man G Then he turned G And left me standing C G And he asked you out to dance G But when you met Em That Yankee sailor C G I knew I didn't stand a chance G D G You say "America is beautiful" D Em And I sure hope you're right D G If I could see you across the water C D Em I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" C D G I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" G We were poor G But I was satisfied C G And I thought that you were, too G You were pure G And I was terrified C G I wasn't good enough for you G D G You say "America is beautiful" D Em And I sure hope you're right D G If I could see you across the water C D Em I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" C D Em I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" C D G I'd say "America is beautiful tonight" Outro G G C G Repeats until end.
