| G          | Am         | D          | G          |
| G          | Am         | D          | G          |

[Verse 1]
G               Am            D                         G
You always knew I understood,   you knew I'd say what I said.
G                    Am                   D                   G
Had I known it would go the way it would,   I would have said   this instead.

[Chorus]
G             Am             D              G
Sail on, sail on, my friend, sail on into a new horizon.
       G                        Am                 D              G
If you can't play that same old song again, I say:   sail on.

[Verse 2]
G                  Am                 D                       G
Let's just say you broke a string and   raise a toast to your health.
G                 Am               D                     G
You don't have to play or sing for   anyone else but yourself.

[Chorus]
G             Am             D              G
Sail on, sail on, my friend, sail on into a new horizon.
       G                        Am                 D              G
If you can't play that same old song again, I say:   sail on.

[Verse 3]
G              (Am)      (D)              (G)
Break a leg in paradise, save a place for me.
G                 Am               D               G
I don't know from good advice, so,   I'll just see you when I see you.

[End-Chorus]
G             Am             D              G
Sail on, sail on, my friend, sail on into a new horizon.
       G                        Am                 D              G
If you can't play that same old song again, I say:   sail on.
