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.
