Sail On Sailor
(Rieley/Kennedy/Wilson/Almer/Parks)
G...................C/G..G.............C/G
I sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean
G.............................C/G..G...................C/G
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Ebmaj9..Am7/D..Ebmaj9..Am7/D...Eb..........F...........G.........C/G
Often frightened, unenlightened, sail on, sail on sailor
G.......................C/G..G.....................C/G
I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
G...............................C/G..G.................C/G
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Ebmaj9..Am7/D..Ebmaj9..Am7/D..Eb..F.........G
Unrepenting, often empty, sail on, sail on sailor
D.............................D#dim..Em
Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
D.......................................D#dim..Em
Bought like a crust of bread, oh do I wail
..............Am7..Em..........Am7..Em.........Am7..Em..........Am7..Em
Seldom stumble, never crumble, try to tumble, life's a rumble
.................G..Am7...............G..Am7........G...Am7........G...C
Feel the stinging I've been given, never ending, unrelenting
...................Am7..Em..........Am7..Em........Am7..Em.....Am7..Em
Heartbreak searing, always fearing, never caring, persevering
Eb...........F............G.......C/G
Sail on, sail on, sailor
G.......................C/G..G........................C/G
I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
G....................................C/G..G................C/G
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Ebmaj9..Am7/D..Ebmaj9..Am7/D..Eb..........F............G
Uninspired, drenched and tired, sail on, wail on, sailor
.............Am7..Em........Am7..Em...........Am7..Em.........Am7..Em
Always needing, even bleeding, never feeding all my feelings
..................G..Am7.............G..Am7..................G..Am7............G...C
Damn the thunder, must I blunder, there's no wonder all I'm under
..............Am7..Em.........Am7..Em........Am7..Em..........Am7..Em
Stop the crying and the lying, and the sighing and my dying
Eb...........F.........G

The river's a bed of sweet berries and flowers

The stream is an eyeglass of heroes

The creek is a funnel of forgiveness

California Saga/The Beaks of Eagles
(Robinson Jeffers, Alan Jardine, Lynda Jardine)
Cm
An eagle's nest on the head of an old redwood
On one of the precipice-footed ridges above Ventana Creek
That jagged country which nothing but a fallen meteor will ever
plow
No horseman will ever ride there, no hunter cross this ridge but
the winged ones
No-one will steal the eggs from this fortress
.......Cm/Bb
The she-eagle is old, her mate was shot long ago
Cm/Ab
She is now mated with a son of hers.
............G7
When lightning blasted her nest she built it again on the same
tree in the splinters of the thunder bolt.
..........C.........Dm7........C/E.........................F...............C/G....F....C/E....Dm7
In a broken shack an old man takes his time about dyin'
..........C..............Dm7.....C/E..............F...................G7
And just at the back a wild flowerbed that he'll lie in
........F...............C/E......Dm7............C/E
In dawn's new light a man might venture
......C..................Dm7..........C/E.........F....C/G....F....C/E....Dm7....Cm
A horse drawn stage from Monterey
Cm
The she-eagle is older than I, she was here when the fires of
eighty-five raged on these ridges
She was lately fledged and dared not hunt ahead of them but ate
scorched meat.
The world has changed in her time
Cm/Bb
Humanity has multiplied, but not here;
..............................Cm/Ab
Men's hopes and thoughts and customs have changed, their powers
are enlarged
...........G7
Their powers and their follies have become fantastic.
...C........................Dm7....C/E...................F................C/G......F....C/E....Dm7
Spilled down the hill a wagon load of bodies lay scattered,
....C....................Dm7..C/E..........F....................G7
Shipwrecked at sea, limestone ore is all that mattered.
...........F........................C/E.........Dm7................................C/E
They took it from the hills right in through the cargo doors
..........C...................................Dm7.......................C/E...........................F..C/G..F..C/E..Dm7..Cm
And how many ships have come and gone at Thurso's landing shore?
Cm
The unstable animal never has been changed so rapidly
The motor and the plane and the great war have gone over him
And Lenin has lived and Jehovah died while the mother-eagle hunts
the same hills
Crying the same beautiful and lonely cry
......................Cm/Bb
And is never tired, dreams the same dreams
.....................................Cm/Ab
And hears at night the rock-slides rattle and thunder in the
throats of these living mountains
........Cm
It is good for man to try all changes
.........................................................Cm/Bb
Progress and corruption, powers, peace and anguish, not to go
down the dinosaur's way
.........Cm/Ab
Until all his capacities have been explored
And it is good for him to know that his needs and nature
.......G7
Are no more changed, in fact, In ten thousand years than the
beaks of eagles.
...............C.......Dm7.........C/E.............................F....................C/G....F....C/E....Dm7
Of the eagle's plight, we know that nature's balance is undone.
......................C..................Dm7......C/E...........F......................G7
And it's the birthright of man to unify and live his life as one.
.........F...................C/E......................Dm7.....................C
A whisper of the word will let you soar with your soul.

day

Water, water get yourself in the cool, clear, water

The air's so clean it'll just take your mind away, take your mind
away, take your mind away
..................C........................................................................................F
Have you ever been south of Monterey, barrancas carve the coast
line

And the chaparral flows to the sea 'neath waves of golden
sunshine
...........................C................................................................................................F
And have you ever been north of Morro Bay the south coast plows
the sea

Horizon edges quick up the mountain's way, up the mountain's way,

Have you ever been down Salinas way where Steinbeck found the
valley
.................G....................................................................................C
And he wrote about it the way it was in his travelin's with
Charley
.........................C............................................................................................................................F
And have you ever walked down through the sycamores where the
farmhouse used to be
.......................G...........................................................................................C
There the monarch's autumn journey ends on a windswept cyprus
tree
..................C........................................................................F
Have you ever been to a festival, the Big Sur congregation?
................G.....................................................................................C
Where Country Joe will do his show and he'd sing about liberty
................G...................................................................C
And the people there in the open air, one big family.
..................G.............................................................................................C.....F.C
Yeah the people there love to sing and share their new found
liberty
