G C/G [2X] / / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse
I sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean Through restful waters and deep commotion Often frightened, unenlightened Sail on, sail on sailor
Verse
I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders Unrepenting, often empty Sail on, sail on sailor
Pre-bridge:
Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail Bought like a crust of bread, oh do I wail
Bridge
Seldom stumble, never crumble Try to tumble, life's a rumble Feel the stinging I've been given Never ending, unrelenting Heartbreak searing, always fearing Never caring, persevering Sail on, sail on, sailor
Verse
I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters Uninspired, drenched and tired Sail on, wail on, sailor
Bridge
Always needing, even bleeding Never feeding all my feelings Damn the thunder, must I blunder There's no wonder all I'm under Stop the crying and the lying And the sighing and my dying Sail on, sail on sailor
Coda (repeat to fade):
Sail on, sail on, sailor
