-------------..................
*from 'Midnight Magic' (1979)*
*CAPO 1st FRET*
(Original Key: [C#])
Intro:
[C], [Dm], [C]
Verse 1:
[C] [Dm]
Sail on down the line, about a, half a mile or so.
[C]
Don't really wanna know, where you're going.
[C] [Dm]
Maybe once or twice you see, time after time I tried,
[C] [F/A] [C/G]
To hold on to what we got, but now you're going.
Chorus 1:
[Fmaj7] [G7] [C] [C/B] [Am7] [C7]
And I don't mind, about the things you're gonna sail on,
[Fmaj7] [G7] [C] [C/B] [Am7], [C7]
I give all my money and my time.
[Fmaj7] [G7] [C] [C/B] [Am7] [Cmaj7/G] [Fmaj7] [Dm7]
I know it's a shame, but I'm giving you back your name, yeah, yeah.
Bridge 1:
[F] [Em7] [Dm7] [F] [Em7] [Dm7]
Yes, I'll be on my way, I won't be back to stay.
[F] [Em7] [Dm7] [C] [G]
I guess I'll move a-long, I'm looking for a good... time.
Interlude:
[C], [Dm], [C]
Verse 2:
[C] [Dm]
Sail on down the line, it's, funny how the time can go,
[C]
Friends says they told me so, but it, doesn't matter.
[C] [Dm]
It was plain to see, that a, small town boy like me,
[C]
Just wasn't your cup of tea, I was, wishful thinking.
Chorus 2:
[Fmaj7] [G7] [C] [C/B] [Am7] [C7]
I gave you my heart, and I tried to make you happy,
[Fmaj7] [G7] [C] [C/B] [Am7]
And you gave me nothing in re-turn.
[C7] [Fmaj7] [G7]
You know it ain't so hard to say;
[C] [C/B] [Am7] [Cmaj7/G] [Fmaj7] [Dm7]
Would you please just go a-way?... yeah, yeah.
Bridge 2:
[F] [Em7] [Dm7] [F] [Em7] [Dm7]
I've thrown a-way the blues, I'm tired of being used.
[F] [Em7] [Dm7]
I want every-one to know;
[C] [G] [Bb] [F] [G]
I'm looking for a good... time. Good time...
Coda:
[Fmaj7] [Em7]
Sail on, honey,
[Fmaj7] [Em7] [Dm7] [Dm7/G]
Good times, never felt so good.
[Fmaj7] [Em7]
Sail on, honey,
[Fmaj7] [Em7] [Dm7]
Good times, never felt so good.
