Sail On
The Commodores/Ritchie
Transcribed Ed Yaekle
I found several versions of this, none quite right (though close). It's capo'ed on
the 6th for simplicity (no weird or bar chords). Sounds good on an accoustic this way, too. Enjoy!

This truly is the best version for an intermediate player like myself. However, the B chord at the end is a B flat... even my wife noticed when I played the chord, she said, “that didn’t sound right....” lol, but I truly appreciate you posting this. Thanks, BTH

Agree with other comment of blacktopherd.
Perfect tab for campfire guitar players, thanks for the effort!

The best version in my opinion and agree with the post below that the B chord at the end should be a B flat. As well, in my opinion, at this time, the C chord at the end sounds better as an Am7 chord. So the end chorus would be Am7, B flat, Am.
