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

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
