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"

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
G Am G Am G
Sail on down the line
Am
About half a mile or so
C G
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
C D G Em
And I don't mind about the things you're gonna sail on
C D G Em
I give all my money and my time
C D
I know it's a shame
Bm Em C G C
But I'm giving you back your name
C D
Yes, I'll be on my way
C D
I won't be back to stay
C D
I guess I'll move along
G Am G
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)
Sail on honey
Good times never felt so good
