1. Sailors´friends are those who fly
Ami D G
on their noble and proud wings
G Ami
comming back and saying hi
D G
despite scary icy winds
G Ami
Long ago you followed whales
D G
now stay with my little boat
G Hmi
sailing over giant waves
Ami D G
many thousands miles to go
G Hmi
2. On the ocean far away
Ami D G
we are sharing the same sky
G Ami
never lonely for one day
D G
no need to be sad and cry
G Ami
Can´t walk on the sea like you
D G
I am just a common man
G Hmi
ice and snow would kill me soon
Ami D G
I hope I can be your friend

3. Long ago you followed whales
Ami D G
but the hungry Japanese
G Ami
few of them left nowadays
D G
in the stormy southern seas
G Ami
I can´t forgive them like you
D G
now I am an angry man
G Hmi
something big should eat them too
Ami D G
who would like to be their friend
G Ami
something big should eat them too
D G
who would like to be their friend.
