SAIL AWAY - DAVID GRAY from 'White Ladder'
------------------------------------------
Capo on the third fret
Am
Sail away with me honey
Em
I put my heart in your hands
Am F Dm
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Am C
Sail away with me
F Dm
What will be will be
F G Dm
I wanna hold you now
C Em
Crazy skies all wild above me now
C Em
Winter howling at my face
C Em
And everything I held so dear
Am G
Disappeared without a trace
C Em
Oh all the times I've tasted love
C Em
Never knew quite what I had
C Em
Little Darling if you hear me now
Am G
Never needed you so bad
F Dm
Spinning round inside my head
Am
Sail away with me honey
Em
I put my heart in your hands
Am F Dm
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Am C
Sail away with me
F Dm
What will be will be
F G Dm
I wanna hold you now
I've been talking drunken gibberish
Fallin' in and out of bars
Trying to get some explanation here
By the way some people are
How did it ever come so far
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now
Repeat Chorus
