Ray Charles "Sail On, Sailor" chords
Start Jamming...
But my favorite time was when [G] the three of us would sing together.
Especially at the dinner on the [G] piano.
I guess that's where it all started.
[Eb] Sail [F] [G] on, sailor.
That's the voice I heard in my mind when I wrote Sail on, Sailor.
A voice full of soul that only a great gospel singer could possess.
And today we've got the best, the great Ray Charles!
[Eb]
[C] [Eb] [F] [G]
[Dm] [G] Thank you, Sam.
I've lost a lot of [Eb] hoes.
And I'm living.
Sail [F] on, sailor.
[G] Sail on, sailor.
[D] Caught like a sewer [Em] rat.
Alone, but I sail.
[D] Bought like a crust of [Em] bread.
But oh, do I wail.
Sailor, turn up.
Never crumble.
[E] Try to tumble.
Life's [Em] a rumble.
Oh, I [C] do.
Singing and praying.
And my never [G]-ending [C] unrelenting.
[Em]
Always fearing.
Never bearing.
Bless our living.
[Eb]
Oh, [G]
wet the sea waves.
The gale swept sea [Dm] waves.
Cast shipwrecked daughters.
[G] Oh, wicked [Eb] waters.
Oh, crazy and tired.
You better sail on, sail [G] on, sailor.
[Em] Always pleading.
Never pleading.
Never pleading.
Oh, my feeling.
[G]
In the blunder.
Oh, in the blunder.
Yes, no wonder what [C] I'm under.
Stop your lying.
And your crying.
And the sighing.
Oh, my [Eb] feeling.
[F] Sail on, [G]
sailor.
[Eb] Sail [G] on, sailor.
[Eb] Sail [F] on, [G] sailor.
Sail on, [Eb] [F] [G] sailor.
[Eb] [G]
