Em [Verse 1] Em D I had a silver penny and an apricot tree, C G D And I said to the sailor on the white quay, Em D “Sailor O sailor, will you bring me C G D If I give you my penny and my apricot tree? Em D A fez from Algeria, an Arab drum to beat, C G D And a little gilt sword and a parakeet?” [Verse 2] Am C Well, he smiled and he kissed me as strong as death, G D I saw his red tongue and I felt his sweet breath. Am C “You may keep your penny and your apricot tree, G D Em And I'll bring your presents back from the sea, from over the sea.” Am C The ship dipped down on the rim of the sky, G D Em And I waited while three long summers went by, three long summers went by. [Verse 3] Em D Then one steel morning on the white quay C G D I saw a grey ship come in from the sea. Em D Slowly she came across the bay C G D And her flashing rigging was shot away. Am C And all around her wake the seabirds cried, G D And flew in and out of the hole in her side. Am C Slowly she came into the path of the sun, G D Em I heard the sound of a distant gun, of a distant gun. [Interlude] Em D C G D [x2] [Verse 4] Em D Then a stranger came running up to me C G D From the deck of the ship, and he said, said he: Am C “Are you the boy who would wait by the quay G D With a little silver penny and an apricot tree? Am C But I've a plum coloured fez and a drum for thee; G D Em I’ve got a sword and a parakeet from over the sea.” [Interlude] Em D C G D [Verse 5] Em D Where is the sailor with the bold red hair, C G D And what is that volley on the bright air? Am C And where are the other girls and boys? G D Em Why have you brought me children’s toys, brought me children’s toys?
