G                       C/G

[Verse 1]
G                 C/G G               C/G
I sailed an ocean,    unsettled ocean
G                     C/G G
Through restful waters    and deep commotion
Ebmaj9 Am7/D     Ebmaj9  Am7/D
Often frightened,    unenlightened
Ebmaj7     F        G
Sail on, sail on sailor

[Verse 2]
G                   C/G G                       C/G
I wrest the waters,      fight Neptune's waters
G                        C/G G
Sail through the sorrows     of life's marauders
Ebmaj9 Am7/D     Ebmaj9     Am7/D
Unre-  penting,       often empty
Ebmaj7     F        G
Sail on, sail on sailor

[Pre-bridge]
D                 D#dim  Em
Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
D                      D#dim  Em
Bought like a crust of bread, oh do I wail

[Bridge 1]
       Am7 Em         Am7 Em
Seldom stumble, never crumble
       Am7 Em           Am7 Em
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
          G   Am7           G  Am7
Feel the stinging I've been given
      G  Am7       G   C
Never ending, unrelenting
           Am7 Em          Am7 Em
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
      Am7 Em       Am7 Em
Never caring, persevering
Ebmaj7    F        G
Sail on, sail on, sailor

[Verse 3]
G                   C/G G                       C/G
I work the seaways,      the gale-swept seaways
G                           C/G G
Past shipwrecked daughters      of wicked waters
Ebmaj9 Am7/D     Ebmaj9           Am7/D
Unin-  spired,       drenched and tired
Ebmaj7     F        G
Sail on, wail on, sailor

[Bridge 2]
       Am7 Em         Am7 Em
Always needing, even bleeding
      Am7 Em         Am7 Em
Never feeding all my feelings
          G  Am7         G  Am7
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
           G  Am7         G  C
There's no wonder all I'm under
         Am7 Em         Am7 Em
Stop the crying and the lying
        Am7 Em         Am7 Em
And the sighing and my dying
Ebmaj7    F        G
Sail on, sail on sailor

[Coda]
(repeat to fade)
Ebmaj7    F        G
Sail on, sail on, sailor
