David Gray - Sail Away
IMPORTANT !!!
For this song use your CAPO ON 1ST Fret.
I think the strumming pattern is quite important for this one.
Try it like this.
down down up up down down up down up
(this is one beat in 4/4)
Try to accent beat 2 and 4.
Might be quite hard at the begining. but if you listen to song you should figure it out quickly.
The Chordchanges within a beat (like in the chorus (from A to Em)) should be done on beat 2 +
Chord sybomls are related to capo on 1st fret!
To keep it simple chord names are not absolutly correct.

Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/david_gray/sail_away_crd_ver_2.html ]
[Bm] [F#m]
Sail away with me honey, I put my heart in your hands.
[Bm] [G] [Em] [Bm]
Sail away with me honey now, now, now,
[D] [G] [Em]
Sail away with me, what will be will be,
[G] [A] [Em]
I wanna hold you now, now, now
Verse:
[D] [F#m]
Crazy skies all wild above me now
[D] [F#m]
Winter howling at my face
[D] [F#m]
And everything I held so dear
[Bm] [A]
Disappeared without a trace
[D] [F#m]
Of all the times I've tasted love
[D] [F#m]
Never knew quite what I had
[D] [F#m]
Little darling, if you hear me now
[Bm] [A]
Never needed you so bad,
[G] [Em]
Spinning round inside my head
