Sail On

by Commodores
Commodores

Biography:

The Commodores are an American funk/soul band, which was at its peak in the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. The members of the group met as mostly freshmen at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in 1968, and signed with Motown in November 1972, having first caught the public eye opening for The Jackson 5 while on tour.

The group's most successful period was in the late 1970s and early 1980s when Lionel Richie was co-lead singer. The band's biggest hit singles are ballads such as "Easy"

*CAPO 1st FRET*

(Original Key: C#)


Intro:

C, Dm, C

Verse 1:

C
Sail on down the line,
Dm
About a, half a mile or so.
Don't really wanna know,
C
Where you're going.

C
Maybe once or twice you see,
Dm
Time after time I tried,
To hold on to what we got,
C
But now you're going.

Chorus 1:

F G
And I don't mind,
C C/B Am C7
About the things you're gonna sail on,
F G C C/B Am, C7
I give all my money and my time.
F G
I know it's a shame,
C C/B Am
But I'm giving you back your name,
G F
Yeah, yeah.

Bridge 1:

F C Dm
Yes, I'll be on my way,
F C Dm
I won't be back to stay.
F C Dm
I guess I'll move a-long,
C G
I'm looking for a good...time.

Interlude:

C, Dm, C

Verse 2:

C
Sail on down the line, it's,
Dm
Funny how the time can go,
Friends says they told me so,
C
But it doesn't matter.

C
It was plain to see,
Dm
That a small town boy like me,
Just wasn't your cup of tea,
C
I was wishful thinking.

Chorus 2:

F G
I gave you my heart,
C C/B Am C7
And I tried to make you happy,
F G C C/B Am
And you gave me nothing in re-turn.
C7 F G
You know it ain't so hard to say;
C C/B Am
Would you please just go a-way...
G F
Yeah, yeah.

Bridge 2:

F C Dm
I've thrown away the blues,
F C Dm
I'm tired of being used.
F C Dm
I want every-one to know,
C G
I'm looking for a good...time.
Bb F G
Good time...

Coda:

Fmaj7 Em7
Sail on, honey,
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
Good times, never felt so good.

Fmaj7 Em7
Sail on, honey,
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
Good times, never felt so good.

(Repeat to Fade)
