Title: Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)
Submitted by: Logan Unplugged (loganhighlander@yahoo.com)
My Tab submissions are to thank everyone at the Guitar Tab Universe for all the great tabs and making me a
much better guitar player since I found this site a couple years ago. I wanted to give something back so
the tabs I am submitting, I believe, are as close to complete as you may get from any one tab on any site.
I've compiled this tab from every tab of this song I could find on the internet and/or in mags and this is
the result. It contains what I believe are the riff, solos, progressions, and lyrics (some of my corrections
and addition) to try and make this tab the as close to the recorded song as possible.
I play alot of parties for my friends where it's just me and an acoustic guitar and this is the tab that is
sitting on my music stand. I hope you find this tab helpful. Once again, Thank you Guitar Tab Universe
and all Tab Submitters!!!

Verse 1:
D F#m Em Bm
There's a port, on a western bay
Em G C/G G
And it serves, a hundred ships a day
D F#m Em Bm Em G D
Lonely sailors, pass the time away, and talk about their homes
D F#m Em Bm
And there's a girl, in this harbor town,
Em G C/G G
And she works, layin' whiskey down
D F#m Em Bm
They say Brandy, fetch another round
Em G D
She serves them whiskey and wine
Chorus:
Bm7 G
The sailors say Brandy, you're a fine girl
Bm7 G
What a good wife you would be
A Asus4/Gb G D/F# Bm7 A
Your eyes could steal a sailor, from the sea
Verse 2:
D F#m Em Bm
Brandy, wears a braided chain
Em G C/G G
Made of the finest silver from the north of Spain
D F#m Em Bm Em G D
A locket, that bears the name, of a man that Brandy loved
D F#m Em Bm Em G C/G G
He came, on a summer's day, bringin' gifts, from far a-way
D F#m Em Bm Em G D
But he made it clear, he couldn't stay, no harbor was his home
Chorus:
Bm7 G
The sailors say Brandy, you're a fine girl
Bm7 G
What a good wife you would be
A Asus4/Gb G D/F# Bm7 A
But my life, my love and my lady is the sea
Bridge:
Bm7 A G A
Yea Brandy used to watch his eyes when he told his sailor's story
Bm7 A G A
She could feel the ocean fall and rise she saw its ragin' glory
Bm7 C/G Bm7 G
But he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man
Asus4/Gb A G D Bm7 A
And Brandy does her best to understand
Verse 3:
D F#m Em Bm
At night, when the bars close down
Em G C/G G
Brandy walks through a silent town
D F#m Em Bm
And loves a man, who's not around
Em G D
She still can hear him say
Chorus:
Bm7 G
The sailors say Brandy, you're a fine girl
Bm7 G
What a good wife you would be
A Asus4/Gb G D/F# Bm7 A
But my life, my love and my lady is the sea
