David Gray - Sail away
 
 
[INTRO] -  Am Asus4
 
  [CHORUS]
 
    Am
    Sail away with me honey 
    Em
    I put my heart in your hands
    Am                        F    Dm
    Sail away with me honey, now, now, now
    Am    C
    Sail away with me
    F         Dm
    What will be will be
    F                 G7   Dm
    I wanna hold you now, now, now
 
 
  [VERSE 1]
 
    C                     Em              Em7
    Crazy skies are wild above me now
    C                     Em             Em7
    Winter howling at my face
    C                 Em                 Em7
    And everything I held so dear 
    Am                      G
    Disappeared without a trace
 
 
  [VERSE 2]
 
    C                    Em            Em7
    Of all the times I tasted love
    C                        Em          Em7
    Never knew quite what I had
    C                      Em            Em7
    Little darling if you hear me now
    Am                   G
    Never needed you so bad
    F                         Dm
    Spinning round inside my head
 
 
  [CHORUS]
 
    Am
    Sail away with me honey 
    Em
    I put my heart in your hands
    Am                        F    Dm
    Sail away with me honey, now, now, now
    Am     C
    Sail away with me
    F         Dm
    What will be will be
    F                 G7  Dm
    I wanna hold you now, now, now
 
 
  [VERSE 3]
 
    C                           Em        Em7
    I've been talking drunken gibberish
    C                      Em            Em7
    Fallin' in and out of bars
    C                       Em         Em7
    Trying to get some explanation here
    Am                       G
    For the way some people are
    F                        Dm
    How did it ever come so far?
 
 
  [CHORUS] (three times and whistle on the fourth)
 
    Am
    Sail away with me honey 
    Em
    I put my heart in your hands
    Am                        F    Dm
    Sail away with me honey, now, now, now
    Am    C
    Sail away with me
    F         Dm
    What will be will be
    F                G7    Dm
    I wanna hold you now, now, now

capo on 3rd fret... then it sounds right.

Just one minor correction: the intro should be Am Asus4 and not Am Amsus4. Apart from that this is perfect. Thanks.

Yep, you should go to the C chord on the last "now" and then right to the verse
