Standard (EADGBE)

I'm gonna sail on my boat & keep it afloat forever

Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together

I got a waiting ticket won't you sail it

Nobody who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying

I'm gonna throw out a rope & keep it afloat, it's granted

& call her Cressy Freedom, Independence or Tansy

I'm gonna wake & take us all to where oh

& nobody's gonna talk me down about stormy weather

Chorus

Got to sail my boat

Got to keep afloat

I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing

I'll stay the course, I'll make it a choice, I'll plan it

Nobody ever thought you would and they take you for granted

I'll tie down the ropes that keep me afloat and sailing

Nobody ever taught me, teach me while I'm playing?

I'm gonna lift up my voice & sing you a song romantic

And call her Cressy Freedom, Independence or Tansy

Chorus

Hold on in love and take to where you never

Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together

I got a freedom ticket let's go sailing

Nobody who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying
