Sail on - The Commodores
* this song is mostly for piano and i'm not near my piano right now so i just figured
this out for guitar
for the intro/verse chords you just create the C#sus4 and Ebm(add11) variations
by moving your pinky over
so that C#sus4 looks like this: X46674 and Ebm(add11) looks like : x68696
i'm not sure if thats exactly the right chords but it sounds pretty close
INtro: C#, C#sus4,C#, Ebm, Ebm(add11), Ebm
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/commodores/sail_on_crd_ver_2.html ]
C#, (C#sus4,C#).....
Sail on down the line
Ebm, (Ebm(add11), Ebm)
About half a mile or so
Ebm...... C#

Ebm
Time after time I tried
Ebm
To hold on to what we got
C#
But now you're going
C#, Ab

F# Ab C# Bbm Ab
And I don't mind about the things you're gonna sail on
F# Ab C# Bbm Ab

F# Ab

C# Bbm Ab F#
But I'm giving you back your name yeh yeh
F# C# Ebm

F# C# Ebm *on this part i think sometimes they play an Ebm7-9 (X68879)
I guess I'll move along
C# Ab
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 yeah yeah
I've thrown away the blues
I'm tired of being used
I want everyone to know
I'm looking for a good time
B F# Ab
Good time
End part
F# Fm
Sail on honey
F# Fm Ebm7
Good times never felt so good
