[G]
I sail in motion, unsettled ocean, through restful waters and deep commotion,
[Eb] [Am]
[Eb] unenlightened.
[G] on, sail on.
I rest the waters, my captains waters, sail through the sorrow of life's marauders,
unrepenting, [Eb] [C] often empty.
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on.

_ I sail in motion, _ _ _ unsettled ocean, _ through restful waters and deep _ commotion,
[Eb] _ _ [Am] often frightened, _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[Eb] unenlightened.
Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on. _
_ _ I rest the waters, _ my captains waters, _ sail through the sorrow of life's marauders,
[Eb] _ _ _ [C] _
unrepenting, [Eb] _ _ [C] often empty.
_ [Eb] _ Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on. _
_ [D] _ Caught like a sewer [A] rat, [Em] alone but I sail.
_ [D] _ Bought like a trusted [Eb] prey, [Em] oh do I wail.
Seldom stumble, never crumble, try to tumble, might thrumble.
_ _ [G] Feel the [C]
stinging, [G] I've been [Am] given, [G] never [Am]
ending, [G] [C] unrelenting.
Sail on, sail on, sail on.
[Am] Heartbreak's [Em] nearing, always fearing, never caring, _ [Am] _
persevering.
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on. _
_ _ I work the seaway, _ the gale swept seaways, we pass shipwrecked borders, _ our wicked _ [Eb] borders,
_ _ [D] _
uninspired, [Eb] _ _ [C] drenched and tired.
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on. _ _
[Am] Always [Em] leading, [Am] even [Em]
bleeding, never feeding all my _ feelings.
_ [G] Damn [Am] the thunder, [G] must I [Am] blunder, [G] there's [Am] no wonder, [G] all [C] I'm under. _ _
[Am] Stop the [Em] crying, and the lying, and the sighing, and my [Am] dying.
[Eb] _ Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on. _
_ [Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on. _ _
_ [Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on. _
