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"

Intro:
C, Dm, C
Verse 1:
C Dm
Sail on down the line, about a, half a mile or so.
C
Don't really wanna know, where you're going.
C Dm
Maybe once or twice you see, time after time I tried,
C F/A C/G
To hold on to what we got, but now you're going.
Chorus 1:
Fmaj7 G7 C C/B Am7 C7
And I don't mind, about the things you're gonna sail on,
Fmaj7 G7 C C/B Am7, C7
I give all my money and my time.
Fmaj7 G7 C C/B Am7 Cmaj7/G Fmaj7 Dm7
I know it's a shame, but I'm giving you back your name, yeah, yeah.
Bridge 1:
F Em7 Dm7 F Em7 Dm7
Yes, I'll be on my way, I won't be back to stay.
F Em7 Dm7 C G
I guess I'll move a-long, I'm looking for a good... time.
Interlude:
C, Dm, C
Verse 2:
C Dm
Sail on down the line, it's, funny how the time can go,
C
Friends says they told me so, but it, doesn't matter.
C Dm
It was plain to see, that a, small town boy like me,
C
Just wasn't your cup of tea, I was, wishful thinking.
Chorus 2:
Fmaj7 G7 C C/B Am7 C7
I gave you my heart, and I tried to make you happy,
Fmaj7 G7 C C/B Am7
And you gave me nothing in re-turn.
C7 Fmaj7 G7
You know it ain't so hard to say;
C C/B Am7 Cmaj7/G Fmaj7 Dm7
Would you please just go a-way?... yeah, yeah.
Bridge 2:
F Em7 Dm7 F Em7 Dm7
I've thrown a-way the blues, I'm tired of being used.

I want every-one to know;
C G Bb F G
I'm looking for a good... time. Good time...
Coda:

Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
Good times, never felt so good.
