*CAPO 1st FRET*

(Original Key: C#)


Intro:

C, Dm, C

Verse 1:

C                               Dm
 Sail on down the line, about a, half a mile or so.
                         C
Don't really wanna know, where you're going.
C                            Dm
 Maybe once or twice you see, time after time I tried,
                          C                     F/A  C/G
To hold on to what we got, but now you're going.

Chorus 1:

Fmaj7        G7              C             C/B   Am7     C7
 And I don't mind, about the things you're gonna sail on,
Fmaj7          G7           C    C/B  Am7, C7
 I give all my money and my time.
Fmaj7          G7             C          C/B       Am7   Cmaj7/G Fmaj7  Dm7
 I know it's a shame, but I'm giving you back your name, yeah,   yeah.

Bridge 1:

     F       Em7   Dm7    F        Em7     Dm7
Yes, I'll be on my way, I won't be back to stay.
  F          Em7    Dm7                     C       G
I guess I'll move a-long, I'm looking for a good... time.

Interlude:

C, Dm, C

Verse 2:

C                            Dm
 Sail on down the line, it's, funny how the time can go,
                                     C
Friends says they told me so, but it, doesn't matter.
C                            Dm
 It was plain to see, that a, small town boy like me,
                                   C
Just wasn't your cup of tea, I was, wishful thinking.

Chorus 2:

Fmaj7          G7           C        C/B      Am7   C7
 I gave you my heart, and I tried to make you happy,
Fmaj7            G7            C    C/B  Am7
 And you gave me nothing in re-turn.
C7           Fmaj7            G7
 You know it ain't so hard to say;
          C           C/B  Am7     Cmaj7/G Fmaj7  Dm7
Would you please just go a-way?... yeah,   yeah.

Bridge 2:

     F        Em7     Dm7        F        Em7   Dm7
I've thrown a-way the blues, I'm tired of being used.
       F     Em7    Dm7
I want every-one to know;
                  C       G     Bb   F     G
I'm looking for a good... time. Good time...

Coda:

Fmaj7     Em7
 Sail on, honey,
Fmaj7              Em7     Dm7  Dm7/G
 Good times, never felt so good.

Fmaj7     Em7
 Sail on, honey,
Fmaj7              Em7     Dm7
 Good times, never felt so good.

(Repeat to Fade)
