Verse 1

I sailed an ocean, ...unsettled ocean,

Through restful waters,

And deep commotion,

Often frightened, ...unen - lightened,

Bb/Eb F G *

Sail on, sail on, sailor!

Verse 2

I wrest the waters,

Fight Neptune's waters,

Sail through the sorrows...

...Of life's marauders,

Unre - penting, often empty,

Bb/Eb F G *

Sail on, sail on, sailor!

Bridge

Caught like a sewer rat ...a - lone, but I sail,

Bought like a crust of bread, but, oh, do I wail

Verse 3

Seldom stum - ble, never crum - ble,

Try to tum - ble, life's a rum - ble,

Feel the sting - ing ...I've been giv - en,

Never end - ing, unre - lent - ing

Verse 4

Heartbreak sear - ing, always fear - ing,

Never car - ing, perse - ver - ing,

Bb/Eb F G *

Sail on, sail on, sailor!

Verse 5

I work the seaways,

The gale-swept seaways,

Past shipwrecked daughters...

...of wicked waters,

Unin - spired, drenched and tired,

Bb/Eb F G *

Wail on, wail on, sailor!

Verse 6

Always need - ing, even bleed - ing,

Never feed - ing all my feel - ings,

Damn--- the thun - der! Must I blun - der?

There's no won - der all I'm un - der

Verse 7

Stop your cry - ing, and the ly - ing,

And the sigh - ing, and my dy - ing,

Bb/Eb F G *

Sail on, sail on, sailor!

Coda

Bb/Eb F G *
