Smooth Sailin' as recorded by T.G. Sheppard
I could not make out the words in the 3rd line of verse 3.
I put in what they sounded like to me. Please let me know
the correct words and I will edit the text. Thanks.
I recommend playing along with the recording to learn the
bouncing pattern of this song. I have added / marks in places
where there are bits of instruments happening. They are only
as a rough guide.
G
For the chord, I think it sounds better to use the one illustrated below,
Where the B string is held at the 3rd fret. Your choice.
E|-----3------|
B|-----3------|
G|-----0------|
