dirt under my fingernails (C)
warm wind blows in your sails (G)
but you can't take off ( F  C)
you're still docked (G)
broken hearted i miss you ( F  C)
though we part, i'll still be true ( F   C  G)
you sail on, you sail on ( C  F)
you sail on, you sail on ( C  F)
turn over from sleeping pills
wake up in white hospitals
and you can't take off
now you're stuck
broken hearted i miss you
though we part, i'll still be true
you sail on, you sail on
you sail on, you sail on
and you're not gonna call (Em)
you're not gonna write me (Am)
except for little notes on forwarded mail (C9)
notes i will read and re read (D7)
notes i will read and re read (D7)
