As recorded by Rod Stewart (From the 1974 Album SMILER) [Intro] C5 G5
C5                      G5
You ain't gonna get me, honey, no way
[Verse 1]
C5                              G5
Tearing down the highway in the pouring rain

  C5                     G5
Escaping from my wedding day

  C5                             G5
I heard the bells ringing in the local church

        C5                    G5
The ceremony's nearly under way

C5                     G5
Telegrams came and the cheap champagne

            C5                     G5
Was driving everybody out of their brains

      C5                          G5
But I convinced my best friends I lost my nerve

      C5                  G5
And I pleaded I was being framed
[Chorus]
D5
"Sailor show me which way to go"

D5
I screamed out loud

D5
"Sailor show me which way to go," ow
[Verse 2]
       C5
Such a deadly silence

       G5
Due to my defiance

    C5                  G5
The wedding ground to a halt

       C5
Said I changed my mind

         G5
Ain't no use in your trying

               C5                G5
So her brother punched me in the throat

    C5
Her mother got hysterical

    G5
The bitch was cynical

C5                     G5
Father's in the corner drunk

          C5
Picking myself off the floor

  G5
I ran to the door

          C5                   G5
Damned if I was skippin' on my way, haha
[Chorus]
D5
"Sailor show me which way to go"

D5
You should have heard the noise

D5
Said "Sailor show me which way to go," woo
[Interlude] C5 F5 C5 F5 C N.C. [Verse 3]
C5
So keep clean, girlie

       G5
Find a man that's truly

      C5                      G5
Gonna love you from dusk 'til dawn, woo

          C5
Keep your front door key

               G5
Don't give him up for me

       C5                G5
'Cause tomorrow I may be gone

              C5
You see, your would be keepers

         G5
Tossin', all night creepin'

        C5                   G5
Ain't nobody gonna change in there

             C5                      G5
Who thinks a marriage life should be like a dog's life

           C5                        G5
So let's renew it when the year runs out, that's right
[Chorus]
D5
Sailor show me which way to go, haha, yeah

D5
Sailor show me which way to go, woo
[Interlude] E5 [Outro]
E5
She had a belly full of lust but she had no bust
