Chorus:
B
Some of us sailors call her home
Sheʼs big and sheʼs strong and sheʼs mighty
EC#m
Some of us sailors call her our own
F#F#7
Guess thatʼs the reason why
BG#m
I treat her like a lady
EC#m
Just treat her like a la -- dy
B
Now I donʼt like the sound of the ground movinʼ ʼround
E
Or winds spinninʼ out of control
F#F#7
California earthquakes, only seem to make aʼ me
B
Shake, rattle, and roll
Iʼve been too long on the mainland
Hotels, rental cars, and phones
Time to cast ʼem aside, catch the very next tide
And go back, where I belong
Chorus:
Some of us sailors call her home
Sheʼs big and sheʼs strong and sheʼs mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
Guess thatʼs the reason why
I treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Now great whales travel the rhumb lines
Dodging those deadly harpoons
Spawning their young, as their ancestors done
In the depths of her hidden lagoons
Thereʼre times I find myself with them
And times I feel as they do
Weʼre on a similar course, itʼs just a different source
But Iʼm in danger of extinction too
Chorus:
Some of us sailors call her home
Sheʼs big and sheʼs strong and sheʼs mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
Guess thatʼs the reason why
I treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
And miss her when Iʼm gone
(Lady, lady) treat her like a lady
(Lady, lady) treat her like a lady
(Lady, lady) got to treat her like a lady
(Lady, lady) treat her like a lady
Lady, lady
Lady, lady
Lady, lady
