Tuning: E A D G B E

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sail Away - Randy Newman --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Randy Newman From: "Sail Away" (1972) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard 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! Listen to my demo recording, so you know what the tab sounds like: https://soundcloud.com/maguri/sail-away-master If you like the tab, don't forget to vote. If you don't, leave a comment so I can improve it. Thank you very much! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- capo: 3rd fret play: D key: F --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whatever your strumming pattern may be, try to incorporate the following voicings: [Verse] D Bm7 E7sus4 e|x-------x-------|x---0---x-------|x-------x-------|x---0---x-------| B|3-------3-------|3---3---3-------|3-------3-------|3---3---3-------| G|2-------2-------|2---2---2-------|2-------2-------|2---2---2-------| D|0-------0-------|0---0---0-------|2-------2-------|2---2---2-------| A|----------------|2---2---2-------|2-------2-------|2---2---2-------| E|----------------|----------------|0-------0-------|0---0---0-------| Asus4 D e|x-------x-------|x---0---x-------|x-------x-------|x---0---x-------| B|3-------3-------|3---3---3-------|3-------3-------|3---3---3-------| G|2-------2-------|2---2---2-------|2-------2-------|2---2---2-------| D|2-------2-------|2---2---2-------|0-------0-------|0---0---0-------| A|0-------0-------|0---0---0-------|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| [Link] / [Outro] D Bm7 E7sus4 Asus4 e|x-------x-------|x---0---x-------|x-------x-------|x---0---x-------| B|3-------3-------|3---3---3-------|3-------3-------|3---3---3-------| G|2-------2-------|2---2---2-------|2-------2-------|2---2---2-------| D|0-------0-------|0---0---0-------|2-------2-------|2---2---2-------| A|----------------|2---2---2-------|2-------2-------|0---0---0-------| E|----------------|----------------|0-------0-------|----------------| [Chorus] D Dsus D G C/G G e|2-------2-----3-|2-------2-------|3-------3-----3-|3-------3-------| B|3-------3-----3-|3-------3-------|0-------0-----1-|0-------0-------| G|2-------2-----2-|2-------2-------|0-------0-----0-|0-------0-------| D|0-------0-----0-|0-------0-------|0-------0-----2-|0-------0-------| A|----------------|----------------|x-------x-----x-|x-------x-------| E|----------------|----------------|3-------3-----3-|3-------0-------| D Bm7 E7 A7 e|2-------2-------|2-------2-------|4-------4-------|3-------3-------| B|3-------3-------|3-------3-------|3-------3-------|2-------2-------| G|2-------2-------|2-------2-------|4-------4-------|2-------2-------| D|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|2-------2-------|2-------2-------| A|----------------|2-------2-------|2-------2-------|0-------0-------| E|----------------|----------------|0-------0-------|----------------| D Dsus D G C/G G e|2-------2-----3-|2-------2-------|3-------3-----3-|3-------3-------| B|3-------3-----3-|3-------3-------|0-------0-----1-|0-------0-------| G|2-------2-----2-|2-------2-------|0-------0-----0-|0-------0-------| D|0-------0-----0-|0-------0-------|0-------0-----2-|0-------0-------| A|----------------|----------------|x-------x-----x-|x-------x-------| E|----------------|----------------|3-------3-----3-|3-------0-------| D Bm7 E7 A7 e|2-------2-------|4-------3-------| B|3-------3-------|3-------2-------| G|2-------2-------|4-------2-------| D|0-------0-------|2-------2-------| A|--------2-------|2-------0-------| E|----------------|0---------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS and SPECIAL VOICINGS (capo 3rd fret)
