Chords

[Intro] G A C G x4 [Verse]
    G               A        C          G
Now what would they do if I just sailed away

               A                 C          G
Who the hell really compelled me to leave today

                  A            C         G
Runnin' low on stories of what made it a ball

                A       C           G
What would they do if I made no landfall

  G             A          C             G
I lived half my life in an eight by five room

                    A            C          G
Just crusin' to the sound of the big diesel boom

                 A           C             G
It's not close quarters that would make me snap

                            A         C        G
It's just dealing with the daily unadulterated crap
[Chorus]
      Em         A          G
Sail away, for a month at a time

     Em                 A         G
Sail away, I've got to restart my mind

           A                  G
And you'll find me back at it again
G C A G [Verse]
     G          A              C             G
Oh, I love the smell of fresh snapper fried light

             A                 C             G
What you say pouilly-fusse to round out the night

                A            C            G
The mid-morning watch is the best time to look

                    A        C         G
Oh, what would they do if I wrote the big book

       G         A          C             G
'Cause I've seen incredible things in my years

                A           c           G
Some days were laughter and others were tears

             A         C   G
If I had it all to do over again

                     A             C              G
I'd just get myself drunk and I'd jump right back in
[Chorus]
     Em               A        G
Sail away, that's the way I survive

     Em                 A           G
Sail away, that's just no shuck and jive

         A                       G
It just makes my whole life come alive

    G             A                C          G
The wind whistles through the cold riggin' at night

             A             C               G
Crazy crowds boogie to the sounds and the lights

             A                C         G
Bums down in Capo's he's just havin' a ball

               A    C           G
What would he do on another landfall

                A       C           G
What would they do if I made no landfall

                    A        C       G
Oh, what would they do if I flew to Nepal

              A      C           G
What would I do if I met Lucille Ball

              A             C           G
I'm tryin' to make a little sense of it all

               A             C           G
Just tryin' to make a little sense of it all
[Outro]: G A C G x2
