[C#]
[F#] [D#m]
[F#] [C#]
Sail on down the [G#] line [D#m] about a half a mile or so
Don't really wanna [C#] know where you're going
Maybe once or twice you'll [D#m] see
Time after time I try to hold on to what we [A#m] [C#] got
But how you're going
[F#]
And I [G#] don't mind [C#] about the things [G#] you're [A#m] gonna say, [G#] Lord
[F#]
I gave all [G#] my money and [C#] my [G#] [A#m] time
[G#m] [F#]
I know it's a [G#] shame, [C#]
but I'm [G#] giving you [A#m] back your name [C#] Yeah
[F#]
Guess [C#] I'll be [D#m] on my way
I won't [C#] be [D#m] back to stay
[F#] I guess [C#] I'll [F#] move along
I'm looking [C#] for a [G#] good time
[C#]
[D#m]
[F#] [C#]
[D#m] [A]
[C#] Sail on down [Fm] the line
[D#m] Funny how the time can go on
[G#] [D#m] Men say they told me so, [C#] but it doesn't matter
It was plain to see [D#] that [G#] a [D#m] small town boy like [A#] me
[D#m] Just wasn't your cup of tea
[C#] I was wishful thinking
I [F#]
gave [G#] you my heart and [C#] I [G#] tried to make [A#m] you happy
[G#] [F#]
You [G#] gave me [C#] nothing in return
[A#m] [G#] You know [F#] it ain't so [G#] hard to say
Would [C#] you [G#] please just [A#m] go away
[G#] [F#]
[Fm] [F#] I've grown [C#] a [F#] way with blues
Out [C#] of being [D#m] used
[G#] I want [F#] [C#]
everyone [F#] to know
I'm [C#] looking for a [G#] good time
[B]
[F#] [G#]
Good time
[F#] Sail on, [Fm] on and
[F#]
Good times [Fm] never felt [D#m] so good
[F#] Sail on, [Fm] on and
[F#]
Good times never [Fm] felt [D#m] so [F#] good
Sail on, [Fm] on and
Good [F#]
times [Fm] never felt [D#m] so good
[F#] [Fm] [G#]
