================== Go Sailor - Fine Day For Sailing ==================
Chords:
Em-0-  -A0-  -G3-  -D3-  -F#70-

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.
_____________________________________________________________________
Intro: D* F#7* G* A* x2
D*          F#7*           G*            A*
This is the last time that I'll wish you dead
  D*            F#7*    G*       A*
I think I've decided to like you instead
     D*             F#7*           G*             A*
I'll throw away the letters that I never meant to send
       D*           F#7*         G*           A*
'cause now I've got more love to give than to end
Therefore Emthis time I Amean it

And maybe you can come to my house for tea
   D*          F#7*         G*              A*
We won't talk about all the pain you caused me
       D*           F#7*      G*             A*
I've become quite adept at pretending you're nice
             D*          F#7*            G*        A*
if you don't believe it, pretending will have to suffice
although Emthis time I Amean it
Emthis time's for Areal
Emjust 'cause you Aruined my Emlife, it's no big Gdeal
So I'll Dtake the F#7pins out Gof the Adoll
I'll Dtake the F#7darts out Gof the Awall
DI'm just so F#7nice now I'm Gnot like bAefore
I Ddon't think of F#7hurting you Gmuch any Amore

      G*          A*          D*
those days are behind me for good
F#7* G* A*
D* F#7* G* A* x2
End on D
