Sail Away
=========

Written by The Levellers, from the "Mouth To Mouth" album.

Transcribed by Alan Bigham, 26/6/99.

Really easy to play, as are most 3-chorders.  Kind of hard to explain this,
so I'll try some diagrams.


This is the Ax chord pattern :

  A               Asus4  A  Asus2       A         
E-0----0----0--0----0----0----0----0----0---
B-2----2----2--2----3----2----0----h----2---  h = hammer on
G-2----2----2--2----2----2----2----2----2---
D-2----2----2--2----2----2----2----2----2---
A-0----0----0--0----0----0----0----0----0---
E-------------------------------------------

And this is the Dx one :

  D               Dsus4  D  Dsus2  D
E-2----2----2--2----3----2----0----h----2---  h = hammer on
B-3----3----3--3----3----3----3----3----3---
G-2----2----2--2----2----2----2----2----2---
D-0----0----0--0----0----0----0----0----0---
A-------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------

Fades in ...

Ax                     Ax
 Down the hill I wander
                            Ax        Ax
 Just to watch the world go by
Dx
 Passers by pass under
Dx                         Ax          Ax
 Underneath the clear blue sky

E
 No-one seems to notice
D                            Ax       Ax       Ax       Ax
 No-one seems to even wonder why


 And as I sit I sail away
 It is as if I broke the line
 Cause nothing really matters
 Nothing matters all the time

 But no one seems to notice,
 No one seems to even wonder why
