Verse 1:
FA# SOL FA# SOL
I heard a story about a boy who was swept off the deck
FA# SOL FA# SOL FA#
The sweeping tide swept the sea over his neck
(Repeat chord sequence)
But it did not end there, the boy began to swim
And dared to the sea that dared to invade him
Chorus
SIm FA# SOL RE
did you ever want to know me
did you ever feel like you could
MIm
it's a silent steeple
SOL MIm
that carries us down
FA#
it's a silent steeple
(Back to verse riff)
Verse 2:
But the sea wouldn't so much as reply
So the boy swore to the ships that were fated to die
Red sky at night, sailors delight
Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning
Chorus
FA#
sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back
Bridge: (Same chords as chorus)
We were going with the wind in our hair
And we didn't want to look back 'cause if we did
We would not care
And if we all were to die now
Well it wouldn't be that bad
'Cause that boy in the waves said
he'd give us everything
Everything he had
To go on and trace that scar,
like we did ten years before
(Solo over verse, chorus chords)
chorus
FA#
sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back
sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on, take it back, sail on....
(Verse riff out)
