Sailor's Rest - Stan Rogers - Home In Halifax - Chords
Note - I'm not exactly sure how he does the little thing at the beginning of the
chorus, but I played around with my guitar a bit, and what I've got there sounds
pretty good to me :P
G D G C
It's acrimony down in the card-room, with winning hands thrown on the baize
D C D7
For-gotten cards wait on the end of debate on the good old days
G G7 C A7
Captains and mates gettin' tes-ty, with memories not of the best
G C G
And tempers are flyin', down at the Sailor's Rest
G D G C
Blue eyes in wrinkled Mo-rocco, still search the horizon for squalls
D C D7
And Zeroes in the sky, and the watchkeeper's eye, and the pawnshop balls
G G7 C A7
The spice in the wind off of Java, and the bars in Papeete were best
G C G
But the deck is too steady, down at the Sailor's Rest
CHORUS
D-D7-D7sus4 G7 C
And, oh, how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
Em C Am D
When after the years, all the storms and the tears, still very much a-live
D7-D7sus4 G7 C
And, oh, how their lives were spilled out on the floor
Em Am
From the battered old seabags, the journals and logs
Em A7
And the keepsakes locked in the chests
G C G
That were stowed in the attic, down at the Sailor's Rest
G D G C
No rail on the messroom table, and you're dead if you spit on the floor
D C D7
No grog allowed, no singin' too loud, and no locks on the doors
G G7 C A7
But there's always a fire in the card room, and the tucker is always the best
G C G
And they'll end it together, down at the Sailor's Rest
CHORUS
D-D7-D7sus4 G7 C
And, oh, how they talked of the day they'd ar-rived
Em C Am D
When after the years, all the storms and the tears, still very much a-live
D7-D7sus4 G7 C
And, oh, how their lives were spilled out on the floor
Em Am
From the battered old seabags, the journals and logs
Em A7
And the keepsakes locked in the chests
G C G
That were sold at the auction, down at the Sailor's Rest
G D G C
So it's acrimony down in the card-room, with winning hands thrown on the baize
D C D7
For-gotten cards wait on the end of debate on the good old days
G G7 C A7
Captains and mates gettin' tes-ty, with memories not of the best
G C G
But they'll end it together', down at the Sailor's Rest
G D G
It's acrimony down in the card-room

Pretty much dead on - I knew Stan back in the day. Here's a note I wrote to accompany my own performances of this song: "When I was a boy in rural NS, on visits to Halifax, I often walked past a well-kept three-story greystone building with a ship’s anchor in its front yard on Hollis Street on the Halifax waterfront. On a sunny day there were always a few well bundled up old men sitting on the benches in the front garden – the sign above the door featured an old sailing ship and a mermaid (with bare breasts!) and read “The Sailors Rest”. My grandfather once explained to me that this was where sailors who had spent their lives at sea and had no homes or families could live their last years in relative comfort and safety. I can remember thinking that might not be so bad, for the old guys looked happy and were interesting to talk to. In his introduction, Stan dedicates this song to his namesake sailor grandfather, who, he tells us, is waiting to “cash his check” in Camp Hill Hospital in Halifax, the veteran’s institution where my own grandfather (who fought in WWI from 1914 to the Armistice as an infantryman in France) died in 1950. I think this is the best song Stan ever wrote." RIP, Stan.
