[Verse 1]
[A][D][A][D][A]
[D]Charles Louis Dominique Pierre
Buchard
True to the breed that bore him
Answered the call that
held him thrall
His father's heart be[Em]fore [A]him
[D]Charles Louis Dominique sailed
away
Further than love could find
[A]him
[D]Yet through the night he heard
a light
And gentle voice [E]be [Edim]hind him[A] say[D]
Matelot, [G]Matelot Where you

[Verse 2]
[A]
go my thoughts go
[D]with you
Matelot, Matelot
[G]When you [A]go down to the [D]sea
As you gaze from afar On the evening [F#]star

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Wherever you may roam
[F#]You will remember [Bm]the
light
Through the winter night
That [C#dim]guides you safely ho[F#]me
Though you [Bm]find woman[E]kind to be [Bm]frail
One [G]love cannot fail, [Bm]my son
[Em]Till our [A]days are [D]done
[Gm]Matelot, Matelot

[Verse 4]
[A]
Where you go my thoughts
[D]go with you
Matelot, [Bb]Matelot
[Gm]When[A] you go down to
the [D]sea[A]
[D][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Charles Louis Dominique Pierre
Buchard
Journeyed the wide world over
[A]Lip[D]s that he kissed could not resist
This loving rov[Em]ing rover[A]
[D]Charles Louis Dominique, right
or wrong
Ever pursued a new love
Till in his brain there beat a strain
He knew to be his [Edim]true
[A]love [D]song

[Verse 6]
Matelot, Matelot
[G]Where you go [A]my
heart goes [D]with you
Matelot, Mate[G]lot
When [A]you go down to the [D]sea
For a year and a day You may sail away
And [Em]have no thought

[Verse 7]
[F#]
of me
Yet through the
[Bm]wind and the spray
You will hear me say
[C#dim]No love was ever f[F#]ree
You [Bm]will sigh when hori
[E]zons are [Bm]clear
Something that is [G]dear to me
[Em]Cannot [A]let [D]me be

[Verse 8]
Matelot, Mate[Gm]lot
[A]Where you go my heart [D]goes with you
Mate[Dm]lot, [Gm]Matelot
When you [A]go down to the
[D]sea[A][D]
[A][D][Em][A][D]
