 This is played twice at the beginning of the song and all the way through each verse. So
 play it through;
 This time, I'll be sailing
 No more bailing boats for me
 I'll be out there on the sea
 Just my confidence and me..
 Then;
 This time, I'll have no fear
 I'll be standing strong and tall
 Turn my back towards them all
 The rythme for the chorus is too long for me to show, so you guys are just gonna have to
 it out from the chords.

 You play this part through;
 I'll be awful sometimes,
 Weakened to my knees.

This is played twice at the beginning of the song and all the way through each verse. So
play it through;

This time, I'll be sailing
No more bailing boats for me
I'll be out there on the sea
Just my confidence and me..

Then;

This time, I'll have no fear
I'll be standing strong and tall
Turn my back towards them all

The rythme for the chorus is too long for me to show, so you guys are just gonna have to

You play this part through;
