| [C] | [C] | [C] | [C]
Maybe | [C] life's just a | cliff, | [F] . you gotta | climb
Go | [G] hang by the skin of your | teeth, you can | fall any- | [C] time | [C]
So better | [C] break out the | bottle I'll | [F] bring home a | glass
Fill it | [G] up with the good stuff, | . 'cause nothing's | [1/2G] gonna | [C] last | [C]
Chorus
Just go | [C] sailin' on through | [C] |
| [F] Sailin' on through | [F] |
| [G] Sailin' on throu- | ough- | [C] ough | [C]
Now | [C] every time the | phone rings, seems | [F] some friend is | gone
| [G] Lost from the | world, to | ashes dust and | [C] song | [C]
So | [C] every time there's | bad news you | [F] run through the | yard
go | [G] hide with the | radio, | . inside your | [C] car. Turn it | up and just go
Chorus
| [C] Sailin' on through | [C] |
| [F] Sailin' on through | [F] |
| [G] Sailin' on throu- | ough- | [C] ough | [C]
Oh | [C] sailin' on through | [C] |
| [F] Sailin' on through | [F] |
| [G] Sailin' on throu- | ough- | [C] ough | [C] |

| [G] | [G] | [G] | [C] | [C] |
| [C] | [C] | [F] | [F] |
| [G] | [G] | [G] | [C] | [C]
Go | [C] under the | east coast, go | [F] under the | west
they | [G] never had to | wonder which | one you like the | [C] best | [C]
and the | [C] highway's your | main line, the | [F] highway's a | snake
| [G] Hard as a | habit gone | bad is to | [C] break | [C]
Chorus
Just go | [C] sailin' on through | [C] |
| [F] Sailin' on through | [F] |
| [G] Sailin' on throu- | ough- | [C] ough | [C]
There's | [C] storms in the | Gulf, | [F] fires on the | plains
| [G] Half the world is | screwed, the | other half's in- | [C] sane | [C]
So better | [C] break out the | bottle, | [F] bring on the | glass
Fill it | [G] up with the good stuff | . 'cause every- | [1/2G] thing must | [C] pass | [C]
Chorus
Just go | [C] sailin' on through | [C] |
| [F] Sailin' on through | [F] |
| [G] Sailin' on throu- | ough- | [C] ough, just like | Moby Dick
Go | [C] sailin' on through | [C] |
| [F] Sailin' on through | [F] |
| [G] Sailin' on throu- | ough- | [C] ough | [C!]
