[N]
[Eb] [Gb]
[Db]
Sailing down the line [Ab] by half [Ebm] a mile or so
[Gb] Don't really [Ebm] want to [Db] know where you're going
Maybe once or twice [Ebm] you'll see
Time after time I try to [Ab] hold [Bbm] on to [Eb] what we [Db] got
But now you're going
[Gb] And I [Ab] don't mind about the things you're [Bbm] gonna say, Lord
[Gb] I gave [Ab] all my money and [Db] my time
[Bbm]
[Gb] I know it's [Ab] a shame
But I'm giving you [Bbm] back your name
[Ab]
[Gb]
Guess I'll be on [Ebm] my way
I [Fm] won't be back [Ebm] to stay
[Gb] I guess I'll move [Ebm] along
I was [Db] having a [Ab] good time
[Db]
[Ebm]
[Db]
Sailing down the [Ebm] line
Ain't it funny how the time can go on
Men say they told me [Db] so
But it doesn't matter
It was plain to see [Ebm] that a small town boy like me
Just wasn't your cup of tea
[Db] I was wishful thinking
[Gb] I gave you [Ab] my heart
[Db] And I tried to [Bbm] make you happy
[Ab] [Gb] And you [Ab] gave me nothing in [Db] return
[Bbm] [Gb] You know it ain't so [Ab] hard to say
But [Db] would you please just [Bbm] go away
[Ab]
[Gb]
I've [Db] thrown away [Ebm] the blues
I'm [Db] tired of [Ebm] being used
I want [Db] everyone [Ebm] to know
I was [Db] looking for a good [Ab]
time
[B] Good [Gb]
[Ab] time, [Db] yeah
[Ebm]
[Db]
[Gb] I gave [Ab] you my heart
And I tried to make [Bbm] you happy
[Gb] And you [Ab] gave me nothing [Db] in return
[Bbm]
[Gb] You know it ain't so [Ab] hard to say
[Db] But would you please just [Bbm] go away
[Ab]
[Gb] I've got [Db] nothing [Ebm] else to lose
I'm tired of being [Db] used
I want [Gb] everyone [Ebm] to know
I'm [Db] looking for a [Ab] good time
[B] Good [Gb]
[Ab] time
