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