    Fine Day For Sailing

  • Artist:

    Go Sailor

  • Album:

    Go Sailor EP

Chords:

Em    A    G    D    F (actually F#7 , but I'll just refer to it as F )
-0-  -0-  -3-  -3-  -0-
-0-  -2-  -0-  -2-  -2-
-0-  -2-  -0-  -3-  -3-
-2-  -2-  -0-  -0-  -4-
-2-  -0-  -2-  -x-  -x-
-0-  -0-  -3-  -x-  -x-

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 you're shifting your 1st finger down to
the 1st string and then back to the 2nd. It should look like this:

D *           F *           G *           A *
-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-  -1-1-1-0-1-  -0-0-0-0-0-  -5-5-5-5-5-
-3-3-3-3-3-  -2-2-2-2-2-  -0-0-0-0-0-  -6-6-6-6-6-
-0-0-0-0-0-  -3-3-3-3-3-  -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 * G * A * x2

D *          F *             G *            A *
This is the last time that I'll wish you dead
  D *            F *      G *       A *
I think I've decided to like you instead
     D *             F *             G *             A *
I'll throw away the letters that I never meant to send
       D *           F *           G *           A *
'cause now I've got more love to give than to end
          Em          A
Therefore this time I mean it
Em             A
This time will stick
Em             A                    Em        G
You're easy to like when you're not making me sick

    D *            F *      G *           A *
And maybe you can come to my house for tea
   D *          F *           G *              A *
We won't talk about all the pain you caused me
       D *           F *        G *             A *
I've become quite adept at pretending you're nice
             D *          F *              G *        A *
if you don't believe it, pretending will have to suffice
         Em          A
although this time I mean it
Em              A
this time's for real
Em              A         Em                G
just 'cause you ruined my life, it's no big deal

        D        F        G      A
So I'll take the pins out of the doll
     D        F         G      A
I'll take the darts out of the wall
Em          A            Em        A
I'm just so nice now I'm not like before
  Em             A           Em       G
I don't think of hurting you much any more

       D *           F *
It's a fine day for sailing
G *             A *
Let's go for a spin
    D *            F *         G *            A *
You don't have to worry that I'll push you in
       D *        F *               G *       A *
I'm so happy now I'm friends with most everyone
     D *          F *           G *           A *
even people like you don't deserve to have none
       Em               A
so now this time I mean it
  Em              A    Em              A
I just don't have time to waste hating you
          Em         G          D *   F *
all those days are behind me for good
      G *          A *          D *
those days are behind me for good

F * G * A *

D * F * G * A * x2

End on D
