The Mountain Goats – Sail On (Guitar)

G
Sail on down the road

       C
‘bout a half a mile or so

  D
I  tried to make you stay,

   G
but now you're going

G                          C
 It was plain to see that a small town boy like me

    D                               G
just wasn't your cup of tea.That was wishful thinking.

C              D           G                 Em
 I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy

C            D            G   C
 You gave me nothing in return

C                             D               G              C
You know it ain't so hard to say, would you please just go away?

G
Now you come to comfort me

      C
but I don't need your sympathy

        D                             G
and the way you look at me, well it's condescending

G
 I feel my stomach churn

    C
and didn't you ever learn

       D                          G
 not to tell somebody something if you don't mean it

C              D           G                 Em
 I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy

C            D            G
You gave me nothing in return

C                             D               G                 C
You know it ain't so hard to say, would you please just go away?

G   C   G   D
