Verse 1:

G C/G G C/G
I sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean
G C/G G
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Ebmaj9 Am7/D Ebmaj9 Am7/D
Often frightened, unenlightened
Ebmaj7 F G
Sail on, sail on sailor

Verse 2:

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:

D D#dim Em
Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
D D#dim Em
Bought like a crust of bread, oh do I wail

Bridge 1:

Am7 Em Am7 Em
Seldom stumble, never crumble
Am7 Em Am7 Em
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
G Am7 G Am7
Feel the stinging I've been given
G Am7 G C
Never ending, unrelenting
Am7 Em Am7 Em
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
Am7 Em Am7 Em
Never caring, persevering
Ebmaj7 F G
Sail on, sail on, sailor

Verse 3:

I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Sail on, wail on, sailor

Bridge 2:

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):

Ebmaj7 F G
Sail on, sail on, sailor
