Sailing
by Jerry Jeff Walker

Spoken by Jerry Jeff:
Well, there I am in Mexico, man,
I'm sittin' on a big hot rock------with the blues,
Watchin' this sailboat drive by, and I'm wonderin', "Where's mine?"
Hell, I know where there's ship in a bottle,
I mean a schooner with a worm on board, yeah.

Chorus:
F5 *
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
C5
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
F5                        bass line: F5  E5     D5
I think I'm gonna go off         sail       ing
            Gflat         C5        F5
Cause I've been on dry land too long

F5
Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
C5
Something I seen here seems to make me seasick
F5                                     bass line: F5 E5     D5 
Something I seen here seems to make me           sea     sick
       G5         C5        F5
And I been on dry land too long

(Roll on)
Chorus

Leeches, land sharks, octopusses make my bwain hurt
Land sharks, octopusses make my bwain hurt
Yea, and I've been on dry land too long


(Ship in a bottle)
Chorus

(Sail on, sail on)
Chorus

(Let's carry on)
Chorus

(I need a ship in a bottle)
Chorus

*The song may very well be in E, since it seems tuned about half-way between
E5 and F.
