Sail Away - Randy Newman
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Randy Newman
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!
