Come Sail Away - Styx

>From the Styx Greatest Hits album.

*I finger pick the intro and first two verses in this pattern to mimic
the
broken chords the piano plays (this is just an example on a C chord, hit
the
appropriate bass note for whatever chord youre playing not necessarily
the
5th string):
--------0-------
----1-------1---
--0---0---0---0-
----------------
3---------------
----------------
Youll need to listen to the recording as some of the chords get played
twice
while others only once. Also this is my first tab and although I think
these
chords sound right I am by no means positive on all of them so I would
welcome any corrections if you find them. Hope you enjoy.
intro - C Dm Em Dm C (Play the Dm and Em as a barred Am up on the 5th
and
7th frets respectively then on the C at the end I just do a little
tremelo
on the bass note like in the recording then into the song)
C G Am F G
I'm sail.... away, set ...................... virgin ...
C G Am F G
I've got.......free, free ........................ ahead .....
Am G
On ...................... so ........
Am G
We'll ................... on ..........
C G Am G C
........ try, oh ......... try .. carry on
*Play intro again
*Same chords and pattern for second verse
Bridge- F G F C x3 (Strum Fs several times let Gs and Cs ring in bridge
and
following verses)
C F G F
. gather... ...angels appeared ..........head
C F G F
.... sang .......... song ............ this ............ said
C F
......... come .......... come ......
C G
.... sail ......... me
C F
......... come .......... come .......
C G
.... sail ......... me
*same chords and pattern for fourth verse
