We Shall Sail Lyrics

We Shall Sail - Gogol Bordello
E-mail:
Intro:
(The song goes back and forth between that alternating bass note thing and occasionally
just strumming.
Best thing to do is to listen to it to hear when to do either one.)
Hey, brother stranger you know we shall sail
Even if, even if only to fail
Cause Winnin' and losin' keep journey ammusin'
*The first time, instead of strumming the chord there's something like this:
Down, down, down your destiny trail
*During this little weird part he's basically dragging the C chord up and down the neck.
Putting the chord names, but just use that to find where the C chord fingering shape is
on the neck
Hey, brother stranger you know we shall sail
(mostly just strumming chords from this point)
So living and loving may never go stale
us4
Cause hustle and bustle sure'll get you the muscle
And, and, and for your coffin a nail
*same as the first except turns into strumming C after the first half
Coffin a nail!
But nothing in this life is good or ba----ad
It's we who dress it up as happy or sad
And nothing in life is a sure mu----ust
Yet, in living and loving, indeed we trust
If you got no place where you belong
Shoulder of stranger just as good and strong
Come into my house and meet all of the night(?)
*Similar to the first time, but with a small change
And don't, don't hesitate, kick that door out!
Yeah kick it out!
Cause nothing in this life is good or ba----ad
It's we who dress it up as happy or sad
And no one in this life is sinner or sa----aint
It's just energy running up the stream or down the drain
And nothing in life is a sure mu----ust
Yet, in living and loving, indeed we trust
*Repeats that weird C chord thing, but then does some stuff with harmonics that I
can't pick out
Hey, brother stranger you know we shall sail
Even if, even if only to fail
Cause Winnin' and losin' keep journey ammusin'
*Same as the first
Down, down, down your destiny trail
