Brandy                                         Looking Glass

                       E                  A       B      C#m7              F#m7     A                      D              A

There’s a port on a western bay, and it serves  a hundred ships a day;

Lonely sailors pass the time away and talk about their homes.

There’s a girl in this harbor town and she works laying whiskey down

They say “Brandy, fetch another round,”

She serves them whiskey and wine.  The sailors say

                C#m7                            AM7                           C#m7                                            AM7

Brandy, you’re a fine girl, what a good wife you would be;

             E                                            B7                      A      E     A

Your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea.

 

Brandy wears a braided chain, made of finest silver from the north of Spain.

A locket that bears the name of the man that Brandy loves.

He came on a summer’s day, bringing gifts from far away,

But he made it clear he couldn’t stay, no harbor was his home.

The sailors say   Chorus

 

C#m                          E                                                   AM7                               B7

Brandy used to watch his eyes when he told his sailor’s story,

She could feel the ocean fall and rise, she saw its raging glory.

C#m                                 D                                                C#m                         A

But he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man;

E                                    B                          A           E    A

Brandy does her best to understand.

 

At night when the bars close down, Brandy walks thru a silent town

And loves a man who’s not around, She still can hear him say,

She hears him say:

 

Brandy, you’re a fine girl, what a good wife you would be;

But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea.”
