Verse 1:
[C] Sail on down the line, about a,[Dm] half a mile or so.

[F] And I don't [G]mind, about the [C]things you're [C/B]gonna [Am]sail on,[C7]

I give all my money and my time.

Bridge 1:
Yes, [F]I'll be [C]on my [Dm]way, I [F]won't be [C]back to [Dm]stay.

Verse 2:
[C] Sail on down the line, it's,[Dm] funny how the time can go,
Friends says they told me so, but it,[C] doesn't matter.

I've [F]thrown aw[C]ay the [Dm]blues, I'm [F]tired of [C]being [Dm]used.
