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 F#m D E
If, if you choose that we will always lose
A F#m Bb E
Well then I’ll sail this ship alone
A F#m D E
And if, if you decide to give him another try
A F#m Bm E
Well then I’ll sail this ship alone
D E
Well they said if I wrote the perfect love song
A F#m
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
