Sail Away

  C               Bb  C          
A man would be a fool to spend 
       F
all his money
Am           F    G        C    G7
And have to go to sea once more
     C                     Bb
But when those brown skin gals
C                  F
start callin' you honey
Am           F       G7        C
You'll be a sailin' from that shore
                F G      C Am   
Just a-singin' Ooh, sail away, 
F  Bb   G C    G7
ooh, sail away

When we hit Trinidad, was there I
      F
 met Marni
Am                 F       G    
Don't you know we started 
    C   G7
drinkin' rum
     C             Bb   C        
But now I feel so bad, she took 
       F
all my money
Am         F            G        C
And now I sail with the mornin' sun

         n.C             F    G     
    C          Am   F    Bb G     C

Chorus: Just a-singin' Ooh, ooh, 
sail away, sail away ooh, ooh sail 
away
    C             Bb              
So all ye sailor lads who want to 
    C
go sportin'
Am        F         G    C    G7
Remark ye well what I do say
      C                      Bb 
Don't trust them brown skin gals, 
   C              F
they'll be your misfortune
Am            F             G    C
You'll be at sea till your dyin' day

Final chorus:
        n.C             F    G      
   C          Am   F    Bb G     C
        Just a-singin' Ooh, ooh, 
sail away, sail away ooh, ooh sail 
away
