[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]They looked out their win[Em]dows
at the [C]ocean that surround[G]s them
In the service of their coun[Em]try,
sailing [C]to a for[G]eign [D]shore.
To[G]morrow will be [Em]Christmas,
and they [C]wish that they could be [G]home.
Their wives and children need [Em]them,
but their [C]country [D]needs them [G]more.
But they'll be [C]sailing home for Christmas,
[G]sailing home for Christmas,
Where a welcome candle [Em]in
the window [Dsus4]gleam s.[D]
[Bm]They'll [C]be sailing home for Christmas,
[G]sailing [D]home for [Em]Christmas,
[G]Sailing home [D]for Christmas
in [G]their dreams.
Tomorrow, they'll serve tur[Em]key and they'll
[C]sing the Christmas car[G]ols,
They'll talk about their fam[Em]ilies,
their [C]mothers and their sons.
[D]It's the str[G]angest contradictio[Em]n,
singing [C]songs of peace and shar[G]ing
As they man the battle sta[Em]tions,
hoping [C]war will nev[D]er [G]come.
But they'll [C]be sailing home for Christmas,
[G]sailing home for Christmas,
Where a welcome candle
[Em]in the window gl[Dsus4]eams.
[D]The[G]y'll be sai[C]ling home for Christmas,
[G]sailing [D]home [Em]for Christmas,
[G]Sailing home [D]for Christmas
in [G]their dreams.
And maybe [D]someday they won't have
to be there [G]anymore,
When we [C]all start to live [G]the things [Am]we have
Christmas [Dsus4]for.[D][Dsus4][D]
They'll be sail[C]ing home for Christmas,
[G]sailing home for Christmas,
Where a welcome candle [Em]in the
window [Dsus4]gleams.
[G]They'll be [C]sailing [G]home [D]for Christmas,
[Em]sail[G]ing [Dsus4]home for C[D]hr[G]istm[C]as,
[G]Sail[D] in[Em]g hom[G]e for
[D]Christmas in their dreams.
