[G]
I sail in motion, unsettled ocean, through restful waters and deep commotion,
[Eb] [Am] often frightened, [Eb] [Am]
[Eb] unenlightened.
Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on.
I rest the waters, my captains waters, sail through the sorrow of life's marauders,
[Eb] [C]
unrepenting, [Eb] [C] often empty.
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on.
[D] Caught like a sewer [A] rat, [Em] alone but I sail.
[D] Bought like a trusted [Eb] prey, [Em] oh do I wail.
Seldom stumble, never crumble, try to tumble, might thrumble.
[G] Feel the [C]
stinging, [G] I've been [Am] given, [G] never [Am]
ending, [G] [C] unrelenting.
Sail on, sail on, sail on.
[Am] Heartbreak's [Em] nearing, always fearing, never caring, [Am]
persevering.
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on.
I work the seaway, the gale swept seaways, we pass shipwrecked borders, our wicked [Eb] borders,
[D]
uninspired, [Eb] [C] drenched and tired.
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on.
[Am] Always [Em] leading, [Am] even [Em]
bleeding, never feeding all my feelings.
[G] Damn [Am] the thunder, [G] must I [Am] blunder, [G] there's [Am] no wonder, [G] all [C] I'm under.
[Am] Stop the [Em] crying, and the lying, and the sighing, and my [Am] dying.
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on.
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on.
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on.
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on.
[Eb] Sail [F] on, sail [G] on, sail on.
