Biography:
Go Sailor was a short-lived Berkeley based twee pop band. Its members included Rose Melberg of Tiger Trap and the Softies (guitar, vocals), Paul Curran of Crimpshrine (bass) and Amy Linton of Henry's Dress and The Aislers Set (drums). They recorded three 7" singles and a full-length CD on Lookout! Records in 1996, the latter of which collected the singles tracks and two compilation appearances. After their breakup their songs "Ray of Sunshine" and "Together Forever in Love" were included on the soundtrack to the movie But I'm a Cheerleader.

================== Go Sailor - Fine Day For Sailing ==================
Chords:
Em A G D F#7
-0- -0- -3- -3- -0-
-0- -2- -0- -2- -2-
-0- -2- -0- -3- -3-

-0- -x- -3- -x- -x-
In a lot of the song, there's a slight chord change on the fourth strum
of the strumming pattern. If you listen to the record it's really
apparent. For D, G and A, you're just whacking your pinky down and
taking it off and for F#7 you're shifting your 1st finger down to
the 1st string and then back to the 2nd. It should look like this:
D* F#7* G* A* (open A string works too)
-3-3-3-4-3- -0-0-0-2-0- -3-3-3-5-3- -0-0-0-7-0-
-2-2-2-2-2- -2-2-2-0-2- -0-0-0-0-0- -5-5-5-5-5-
-3-3-3-3-3- -3-3-3-3-3- -0-0-0-0-0- -6-6-6-6-6-
-0-0-0-0-0- -4-4-4-4-4- -0-0-0-0-0- -7-7-7-7-7-
-x-x-x-x-x- -x-x-x-x-x- -2-2-2-2-2- -x-x-x-x-x-
-x-x-x-x-x- -x-x-x-x-x- -3-3-3-3-3- -x-x-x-x-x-
If you find it a little tricky (and the G* can be quite a stretch),
you could just use the top set of chords for the the whole song,
disregarding all of the asterisks. It won't song exactly right, but
it'll sound pretty good.
