"Mods rule!"

Verse 1:
          G				     Am
I'm gonna sail on my boat and keep it afloat forever
         C			         G
Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together
G			         Am
I got a waiting ticket won't you sail it
C					  G
Nobody who's staying asleep know what I'm saying


Verse 2:
          G					    Am
I'm gonna throw out a rope and keep it afloat, it's granted
    C					     G
And call her Cressy Freedom, Independance or Tansy
G				  Am
I'm gonna wake and take us all to where oh
    C					     G
And nobody's gonna talk me down about stormy weather


Chorus:
       G    D  C
Got to sail my boat
       G  D C
Got to keep afloat
C				   G
I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing


Verse 3:
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

Verse 4:
I'm gonna sing you a song and lift up my voice romantic
And call it Cressy Freedom, Independance or Tansy

Chorus:
Got to sail my boat
Keep it afloat
I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing

Verse 5:
Hold on in love and take it to where you never
Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together
I got a freedom ticket lets go sailing
Nobody who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying

Chorus:
Got to sail my boat
Keep it afloat
I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing

Chorus:
Got to sail my boat
Keep it afloat
I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing
