• Capo on 2nd
• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: F

Intro:

F G A# F x4

Verse 1:
  F        G     A#     F
Now what would they do if I just sailed away
F         G        A#     F
Who the hell really compelled me to leave today
F        G        A#     F
Runnin' low on stories of what made it a ball
F        G    A#      F
What would they do if I made no landfall

 F       G      A#       F
I lived half my life in an eight by five room
   F        G       A#     F
Just cruisin' to the sound of the big diesel boom
F         G      A#       F
It's not close quarters that would make me snap
     F         G     A#     F
It's just dealing with the daily unadulterated crap

Chorus:
   Dm     G      F
Sail away, for a month at a time
   Dm         G     F
Sail away, I've got to restart my mind
      G          F
And you'll find me back at it again

Verse 2:
  F      G        A#       F
Oh, I love the smell of fresh snapper fried light
F       G         A#       F
What you say pouilly-fusse to round out the night
  F      G       A#      F
The mid-morning watch is the best time to look
  F        G    A#       F
Oh, what would they do if I wrote the big book

    F      G     A#       F
'Cause I've seen incredible things in my years
F        G      A#      F
Some days were laughter and others were tears
  F     G     A#   F
If I had it all to do over again
     F      G       A#        F
I'd just get myself drunk and I'd jump right back in


Chorus:
   Dm        G     F
Sail away, that's the way I survive
   Dm         G      F
Sail away, that's just no shuck and jive
     G            F
It just makes my whole life come alive

Instrumental:
F G A# F
F G A# F
F G A# F
F G A# F
Dm    G   F
Dm    G   F

Verse 3:
  F       G         A#     F
The wind whistles through the cold riggin' at night
F       G       A#        F
Crazy crowds boogie to the sounds and the lights
F       G         A#     F
Bums down in Capo's he's just havin' a ball
F        G   A#      F
What would he do on another landfall
F        G    A#      F
What would they do if I made no landfall
  F        G    A#     F
Oh, what would they do if I flew to Nepal
F       G    A#      F
What would I do if I met Lucille Ball
  F     G       A#      F
I'm tryin' to make a little sense of it all
   F     G       A#      F
Just tryin' to make a little sense of it all

Outro:
F G A# F x2
