Come Sail Away Performed by Styx Words and Music by Dennis DeYoung Bassist: Chuck Panozzo >From the album "The Grand Illusion" (A&M) Transcribed by Brian Angell (DCFan427@aol.com) This transcription is pretty close to the recording. Overall, it follows the chords and is accurate enough for my own needs. Enjoy! Intro and Verse#1: Bass tacet. (Bass enters when Dennis sings "To carry on.")
