Sail On — Commodores
Chords and lyrics for Sail On by Commodores (key of C#).
Verse 1
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 Dbsus4 and Ebm(add11)
variations
by moving your pinky over so that Dbsus4 looks like this: x46674 and
[Ebm(add11)]looks like: x68696
I'm not sure if that's exactly the right chords but it sounds pretty close.

I'm [Db][Ab]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

[Db]Good [Ab]time [Abm]Good [Gb][Ab]time
End Part
