I'm gonna sail on my boat and keep it afloat forever

I got a waiting ticket won't you sail it

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

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

Keep it afloat
I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing

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