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"

These are simple chords to the song. I'd really appreciate someone filling in the correct chords (ie. perhaps a D7 or D/A instead of a simple D). I couldn't figure out the change to a different scale in the last part of the song.
Sail on - The Commodores
GAmGAmG
Sail on down the line Am About half a mile or so CG Don't really wanna know where you're going
Maybe once or twice Am Time after time I tried C To hold on to what we got G But now you're going
CDGEm And I don't mind about the things you're gonna sail on CDGEm I give all my money and my time CD I know it's a shame BmEmCGC But I'm giving you back your name CD Yes, I'll be on my way CD I won't be back to stay CD I guess I'll move along GAmG I'm looking for a good time
Sail on down the line Funny how the time can go Friends says they told me so but it doesn't matter It was plain to see That a small town boy like me Just wasn't your cup of tea I was wishful thinking
I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy And you gave me nothing in return You know it ain't so hard to say Would you please just go away I've thrown away the blues I'm tired of being used I want everyone to know I'm looking for a good time Good time
(The scale changes here but to what, I don't know)
