Sail on down the [G#] line [D#m] about a half a mile or so
Don't really wanna [C#] know where you're going
once or twice you'll [D#m] see
Time after time I try to hold on to what we [A#m] [C#] got
how you're going

Sail on down the [G#] line [D#m] about a half a mile or so _ _ _
Don't really wanna [C#] know _ where you're going

_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
And I [G#] don't mind [C#] about the things [G#] you're [A#m] gonna say, [G#] Lord
_ [F#] _ _
I gave all [G#] my money and [C#] my _ [G#] [A#m] time
_ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _
I know it's a [G#] shame, _ [C#]
but I'm [G#] giving you [A#m] back your _ _ name _ _ _ [C#] Yeah
[F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Guess [C#] I'll be [D#m] on my way
I won't [C#] be [D#m] back to stay
_ [F#] I guess [C#] I'll [F#] move along
I'm looking [C#] for a [G#] good _ _ _ time _ _ _

_ [C#] _ _ _ _ Sail on down [Fm] the line
[D#m] _ _ Funny how the time can go on
_ [G#] [D#m] Men say they told me so, [C#] but it _ doesn't matter
_ _ _ It was plain to see [D#] that [G#] a [D#m] small town boy like [A#] me
[D#m] Just _ _ wasn't your cup of tea
[C#] I was _ wishful thinking
_ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
gave [G#] you my heart and [C#] I [G#] tried to make [A#m] you happy
_ [G#] _ _ [F#] _
You [G#] gave me [C#] nothing in return
_ _ [A#m] _ _ [G#] You know [F#] it ain't so [G#] hard to say
Would [C#] you [G#] please just [A#m] go _ _ _ away
_ _ [G#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ [F#] _ _ I've grown [C#] a [F#] way with blues
Out _ [C#] of being [D#m] _ used
[G#] I want [F#] _ [C#]
everyone [F#] to know
I'm [C#] looking for a _ [G#] good _ time

Good time
_ _ _ _ [F#] Sail _ _ _ on, _ [Fm] _ on and
