Sail On Sailor

Beach Boys

#From: rogers@hi.com (Andrew Rogers)
verse 1:
G I sailed an ocean, C/G      G unsettled ocean C/G
G Through restful waters C/G      G and deep commotion
Ebmaj9 Often f Am7/D rightened, Ebmaj9     unen Am7/D lightened
Ebmaj7 Sail on, sa F il on sai G lor
verse 2:
I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Unrepenting, often empty
Sail on, sail on sailor
#pre-bridge:
D Caught like a sewe D#dim r rat a Em lone but I sail
D Bought like a crust of  D#dim bread,  Em oh do I wail
bridge 1:
Seldom  Am7 stum Em ble, never  Am7 crum Em ble
Try to  Am7 tumb Em le, life's a  Am7 rumb Em le
Feel the s G ting Am7 ing I've been  G giv Am7 en
Never  G end Am7 ing, unrel G enti C ng
Heartbreak  Am7 sear Em ing, always  Am7 fear Em ing
Never  Am7 cari Em ng, perse Am7 veri Em ng
Ebmaj7 Sail on, s F ail on, s G ailor
verse 3:
I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Sail on, wail on, sailor
bridge 2:
Always needing, even bleeding
Never feeding all my feelings
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
There's no wonder all I'm under
Stop the crying and the lying
And the sighing and my dying
Sail on, sail on sailor (repeat to fade)
