C
G                                          Am
I'm gonna sail on my boat & keep it afloat forever
C                                        G          
Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together
G                                   Am   
I got a waiting ticket won't you sail it
C                                          G          
Nobody who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying

I'm gonna throw out a rope & keep it afloat, it's granted
& call her Cressy Freedom, Independence or Tansy
I'm gonna wake & take us all to where oh
& nobody's gonna talk me down about stormy weather

Chorus
G           D   C    
Got to sail my boat
G        D       C      
Got to keep afloat
C                                  G          
I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing

I'll stay the course, I'll make it a choice, I'll plan it
Nobody ever thought you would and they take you for granted
I'll tie down  the ropes that keep me afloat and sailing
Nobody ever taught me, teach me while I'm playing?

I'm gonna lift up my voice & sing you a song romantic
And call her Cressy Freedom, Independence or Tansy

Chorus

Hold on in love and take to where you never
Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together
I got a freedom ticket let's go sailing
Nobody who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying
