    Fine Day For Sailing

Chords:

E5    A5    G5    D5    F5 (actually F#5 , but I'll just refer to it as F5 )
-0-  -0-  -3-  -3-  -0-
-0-  -2-  -0-  -2-  -2-
-0-  -2-  -0-  -3-  -3-

-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:

D5 *           F5 *           G5 *           A5 *
-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: D5 * F5 * G5 * A5 * x2

D5 *          F5 *             G5 *            A5 *
This is the last time that I'll wish you dead
  D5 *            F5 *      G5 *       A5 *
I think I've decided to like you instead
     D5 *             F5 *             G5 *             A5 *
I'll throw away the letters that I never meant to send
       D5 *           F5 *           G5 *           A5 *
'cause now I've got more love to give than to end
          E5          A5
Therefore this time I mean it
E5             A5
This time will stick
E5             A5                    E5        G5
You're easy to like when you're not making me sick

    D5 *            F5 *      G5 *           A5 *
And maybe you can come to my house for tea
   D5 *          F5 *           G5 *              A5 *
We won't talk about all the pain you caused me
       D5 *           F5 *        G5 *             A5 *
I've become quite adept at pretending you're nice
             D5 *          F5 *              G5 *        A5 *
if you don't believe it, pretending will have to suffice
         E5          A5
although this time I mean it
E5              A5
this time's for real
E5              A5         E5                G5
just 'cause you ruined my life, it's no big deal

        D5        F5        G5      A5
So I'll take the pins out of the doll
     D5        F5         G5      A5
I'll take the darts out of the wall
E5          A5            E5        A5
I'm just so nice now I'm not like before
  E5             A5           E5       G5
I don't think of hurting you much any more

       D5 *           F5 *
It's a fine day for sailing
G5 *             A5 *
Let's go for a spin
    D5 *            F5 *         G5 *            A5 *
You don't have to worry that I'll push you in
       D5 *        F5 *               G5 *       A5 *
I'm so happy now I'm friends with most everyone
     D5 *          F5 *           G5 *           A5 *
even people like you don't deserve to have none
       E5               A5
so now this time I mean it
  E5              A5    E5              A5
I just don't have time to waste hating you
          E5         G5          D5 *   F5 *
all those days are behind me for good
      G5 *          A5 *          D5 *
those days are behind me for good

F5 * G5 * A5 *

D5 * F5 * G5 * A5 * x2

End on D
