sail away ( 1972 )
( newman )

from : “sail away”

hardly a guitar song , but it works , i think .
it’s difficult to reproduce the intro because of all the suspended notes .
i left them out and just put the straight chords here . i’m not sure about
the “a/E” chord , however . it seems to work , but i’d be thankful
for suggestions!
