================== Go Sailor - Fine Day For Sailing ==================

Chords:

Em    A    G    D    F (actually F#7, but I'll just refer to it as F)
-0-  -0-  -3-  -3-  -0-
-0-  -2-  -0-  -2-  -2-
-0-  -2-  -0-  -3-  -3-
-2-  -2-  -0-  -0-  -4-
-2-  -0-  -2-  -x-  -x-
-0-  -x-  -3-  -x-  -x-

In a lot of the song, there's a slight chord change on the fourth strum 
of the strumming pattern. If you listen to the record it's really
apparent. For D, G and A, you're just whacking your pinky down and
taking it off and for F you're shifting your 1st finger down to
the 1st string and then back to the 2nd. It should look like this:

D*           F*           G*           A*
-3-3-3-4-3-  -0-0-0-2-0-  -3-3-3-5-3-  -0-0-0-7-0-
-2-2-2-2-2-  -2-2-2-0-2-  -0-0-0-0-0-  -5-5-5-5-5-
-3-3-3-3-3-  -3-3-3-3-3-  -0-0-0-0-0-  -6-6-6-6-6-
-0-0-0-0-0-  -4-4-4-4-4-  -0-0-0-0-0-  -7-7-7-7-7-
-x-x-x-x-x-  -x-x-x-x-x-  -2-2-2-2-2-  -x-x-x-x-x-
-x-x-x-x-x-  -x-x-x-x-x-  -3-3-3-3-3-  -x-x-x-x-x-

If you find it a little tricky (and the G* can be quite a stretch),
you could just use the top set of chords for the the whole song,
disregarding all of the asterisks. It won't song exactly right, but
it'll sound pretty good.

Intro: D* F* G* A* x2

D*          F*             G*            A*
This is the last time that I'll wish you dead
  D*            F*      G*       A*
I think I've decided to like you instead
     D*             F*             G*             A*
I'll throw away the letters that I never meant to send
       D*           F*           G*           A*
'cause now I've got more love to give than to end
          Em          A
Therefore this time I mean it
Em             A
This time will stick
Em             A                    Em        G
You're easy to like when you're not making me sick

    D*            F*      G*           A*
And maybe you can come to my house for tea
   D*          F*           G*              A*
We won't talk about all the pain you caused me
       D*           F*        G*             A*
I've become quite adept at pretending you're nice
             D*          F*              G*        A*
if you don't believe it, pretending will have to suffice
         Em          A
although this time I mean it
Em              A
this time's for real
Em              A         Em                G
just 'cause you ruined my life, it's no big deal

        D        F        G      A
So I'll take the pins out of the doll
     D        F         G      A
I'll take the darts out of the wall
D           F            G         A
I'm just so nice now I'm not like before
  D              F           G        A
I don't think of hurting you much any more

       D*           F*
It's a fine day for sailing
G*             A*
Let's go for a spin
    D*            F*         G*            A*
You don't have to worry that I'll push you in
       D*        F*               G*       A*
I'm so happy now I'm friends with most everyone
     D*          F*           G*           A*
even people like you don't deserve to have none
       Em               A
so now this time I mean it
  Em              A    Em              A
I just don't have time to waste hating you
          Em         G          D*   F*
all those days are behind me for good
      G*          A*          D*
those days are behind me for good

F* G* A*

D* F* G* A* x2

End on D
