        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
        Eb7+       F        G
        Sail on, sail on sailor
        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
        Unrepenting, often empty
        Eb7+       F        G
        Sail on, sail on sailor

Pre-Bridge:
        D                 D#°    Em
        Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
        D                      D#°    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
        Eb7+      F        G
        Sail on, sail on, sailor

        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
        Uninspired, drenched and tired
        Eb7+       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
        Eb7+      F        G
        Sail on, sail on sailor [Repeat To Fade].
