  SAILING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

  Recorded by Doug Stone

  Words and music by Lewis Anderson

  

  [A] They looked out their windows

  At the o-[D] cean that surrounds [A] them

  In the service of their country

  Sailin' to a foreign [E] shore

  To-[A] morrow will be Christmas

  And they [D] wish that they could be [A] home

  Their wives and children need them

  But their [E] country needs them [A] more.

  

  Refrain

  But, They'll Be [D] Sailin' Home For Christmas

  [A] Sailin' Home For Christmas

  Where a welcome candle in the window [E] gleams

  They'll Be [D] Sailin' Home For Christmas

  [A] Sailin' Home For Christmas

  Sailin' home for [E] Christmas in their [D] dr-[A]eams.

  

  Tomorrow they'll serve turkey

  And they'll sing the Christmas carols

  They'll talk about their family

  Their mothers and their sons

  It's the strangest contradiction

  Singin' songs of peace and sharing

  As they man the battle weapons

  Hopin' war will never come.

  

  Refrain

  

  [E] Maybe someday they won't have to

     Be there [D] any-[A] more

  When they all [D] start to live the [A] things

     We have Christmas [E] for;

  

  Refrain
