I paid all my dues, And I picked up my shoes and got up and walked away 

              C             G           D       G 
Cause I was just a boy     didn't know how to play 


   G                          Bm                G           D     G 
I worked hard and failed, now all I can say, is I threw it all away 

          C           G        D     G 
Oh I was just a boy, giving it all away

Sail away, sail away

Went out in the world, too much for my nerves, only myself to blame

I was just a boy, nobody else to blame

I done all I can now it's out of my hands, stand on my head and say

Oh I was just a boy, giving it all away
