COMMODORES - "sail on" Tablature
Official COMMODORES Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: singht@che.und.ac.za (Mr Terence Singh - PG)
Subject: CRD : Sail on - The Commodores
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
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official COMMODORES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
