Intro:
C, Dm, C
Verse 1:
C
Sail on down the line,
Dm
About a, half a mile or so.
Don't really wanna know,
C
Where you're going.
C
Maybe once or twice you see,
Dm
Time after time I tried,
To hold on to what we got,
C
But now you're going.
Chorus 1:
F G
And I don't mind,
C C/B Am C7
About the things you're gonna sail on,
F G C C/B Am, C7
I give all my money and my time.
F G
I know it's a shame,
C C/B Am
But I'm giving you back your name,
G F
Yeah, yeah.
Bridge 1:
F C Dm
Yes, I'll be on my way,
F C Dm
I won't be back to stay.
F C Dm
I guess I'll move a-long,
C G
I'm looking for a good...time.
Interlude:
C, Dm, C
Verse 2:
C
Sail on down the line, it's,
Dm
Funny how the time can go,
Friends says they told me so,
C
But it doesn't matter.

C
It was plain to see,
Dm
That a small town boy like me,
Just wasn't your cup of tea,
C
I was wishful thinking.
Chorus 2:
F G
I gave you my heart,
C C/B Am C7
And I tried to make you happy,
F G C C/B Am
And you gave me nothing in re-turn.
C7 F G
You know it ain't so hard to say;
C C/B Am
Would you please just go a-way...
G F
Yeah, yeah.
Bridge 2:
F C Dm
I've thrown away the blues,
F C Dm
I'm tired of being used.
F C Dm
I want every-one to know,
C G
I'm looking for a good...time.
Bb F G
Good time...

Sail on, honey,
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
Good times, never felt so good.
Fmaj7 Em7
Sail on, honey,
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
Good times, never felt so good.
