Subject: Beautiful South - `I`ll Sail This Ship Alone`
I`ll Sail This Ship Alone
by Paul Heaton and David Rotheray
Note: I think that A7 in the chorus is not the correct chord. If you
know a better chord to play, please let me know!
A Fm D E
If, if you choose that we will always lose
A Fm Bb E
Well then I`ll sail this ship alone
A Fm D E
And if, if you decide to give him another try
A Fm Bm E
Well then I`ll sail this ship alone
D E
Well they said if I wrote the perfect love song
A Fm
You would take me back
D Bm
Well I wrote it, but I lost it
E
And now will you take me back anyway
Now if, if you insist that this is for the best
Well then I`ll sail this ship alone
And if, if you swear that you no longer care
Well then I`ll sail this ship alone
A A7
I`ll sail this ship alone
D E
Between the pain and the pleasure
A A7
I`ll sail this ship alone
D E
Amongst the sharks and the treasure
D E D E D E
If you would rather go your way then go your way
N/C
I`ll sail this ship alone
If, if you`re afraid that I won`t make the grade
Well then I`ll sail this ship alone
And if, if you agree to him instead of me
Well then I`ll sail this ship alone
Well they said if I wrote the perfect letter
That I would have a chance
Well I wrote it, and you burned it
And now do I have a chance anyway
If, if you swear that you no longer care
Well then I`ll sail this ship alone
[Chorus]
Well they said if I burnt myself alive
That you`d come running back
