"Sail On Sailor"
(J. Rieley / R. Kennedy / B. Wilson / T. Almer / V. D. Parks)

This is the version as performed by one of the song's writer's, Ray Kennedy (RIP),

in the (super) group KGB and other live performances. He claimed these were the

original lyrics.

Having had to get this version from the KGB recording, I'm not 100% sure about some

of the words. The Beachboys version is very different and obviously had a set of

sanitised lyrics written for radio consumption. So, there may be a mondegreen or 2

in there. Feel free to fix em.
edit: thanks safenney for some corrections

Capo 3rd fret (Bb)

[Intro]
G C/G [2X]

[Verse 1]
G C/G G C/G
I am a singer, a gospel singer
G C/G G C/G
I sing for people, I sing for pleasure
D#maj9 Am7/D D#maj9 Am7/D
Only a dreamer, who came from nowhere
D#maj7 F G
Sail on, wail on Sailor

[Verse 2]
G C/G G C/G
Over the cities, I see the rooftops
G C/G G C/G
To sooth my poor throat, I popped a cough drop
D#maj9 Am7/D D#maj9 Am7/D
Often frightened, Unenlightened
D#maj7 F G
Sail on, wail on Sailor
D#maj7 F G
Sail on, wail on Sailor

[Bridge]
D D#dim Em
Just like my mamma said, Ray there's a way
D D#dim Em
but you gotta get yourself out of that ghetto today
Am Em Am Em
you might stumble, you could fumble
Am Em Am Em
when you're down low don't feel under
G Am7 G Am7
and the thunder and the lightening
G Am7 G C
aren't as frightening when you're coked out
Am7 Em Am7 Em
Heartbreak city ain't so pretty
Am7 Em Am7 Em
when you're down and nitty gritty

D#maj7 F G
Sail on, wail on Sailor
D#maj7 F G
Sail on, wail on Sailor
D#maj7 F G
Sail on, wail on Sailor

[Lead Break]
Am Em Am Em
Am Em Am Em
G Am7 G Am7
... the thunder and the lightening
G Am7 G C
aren't as frightening when you're coked out
Am7 Em Am7 Em
Heartbreak city aint so pretty
Am7 Em Am7 Em
when you're down and nitty gritty

[Outro]
D#maj7 F G
Sail on, wail on Sailor
D#maj7 F G
Sail on, wail on Sailor
