########### PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC ################
[Riff] [E] x 2
[Verse + Riff - Full drums] [E] Hey, once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a rock-and-roll band
I never had no problems
Burnin' down the one-night stands
And everything around me
Got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly
Yes, I did
To disco down and check out the show
(Horn Riff 0x991212 xx771010 0x991212)
[Pre-Chorus - E7#9 or 076777] [E] Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted
[Chorus G7add9] [G7add9] "Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music,
[A#7add9] white boy
[A7] Lay down that
[E7#9] boogie
And
[B7#9] play that funky music 'til you die."

[Verse 1 - Drums stop] (Down octave to rest the voice)
At
[Gm] first I was afraid, I was
[Cm] petrified,
Kept thinking
[F] I could never live without you
[Bbmaj7] by my side.
But then I
[Ebmaj7] spent so many nights, thinking
[Am7b5] how you did me wrong,
And I grew
[Dsus4] strong; and I learned
[D] how to get along.
[Drums back in- Vocals back up an octave]And so you're
[Gm] back, from outer
[Cm] space,
I just walked
[F] in to find you here, with that sad
[Bbmaj7] look upon your face.
I should have
[Ebmaj7] changed that stupid lock,
I should have
[Am7b5] made you leave your key,
If I had
[Dsus4] known for just one second, you'd be
[D] back to bother to me
[Chorus] Go on now,
[Gm] go; walk out the
[Cm] door;
Just turn a
[F] round now, 'cos you're not
[Bbmaj7] welcome any more.
[Ebmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to
[Am7b5] hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd
[Dsus4] crumble; did you think I'd
[D] lay down and die?
Oh no, not
[Gm] I; I will sur
[Cm] vive,
Oh, as
[F] long as I know how to love, I
[Bbmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got
[Ebmaj7] all my life to live, I've got
[Am7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur
[Dsus4] vive, I will sur
[D] vive, cos I'M OUTTA LOVE

and I
[A] - I am feeling a little pe
[E] culiar
And so I
[E] wake in the morning and I step outside
and I
[F#m] take a deep breath and I get real high and
I
[A] scream from the top of my lungs "What's going
[E] on?"
[Chorus]And I said "
[E] Heyeyeyeyey
[F#m] Heyeyey"
I said "
[A] Hey, what's going

[Notes]Don't go for harmonies in the chorus too much
Opening figure - use thumb and first finger to play B - 1 3 E - 1 0 B - 1 3
Whilst still holding the C chord as much as possible so it sustains
Chord for C/Bb - 6x555
Run down - D 0 - A- 3 2 0 then play G - don't pull off play first
with first finger then rest with thumb
Piano intro C - notes - dont try to hold C maj chord - use second
finger for the 1 so in good position to finger the next chord
B 1 3 E 1 0 B 3 1 (hammer on and pull off) - 11xx1x 01xx1x x10x1x
Use side of thumb and muting with left hand to 1 &3&4 - staccato on 4
Losing everything - have snare hit with no chord OR just play bass drum with chords

[Verse 2] Looking
[Em7] back
[A] over my

Singing songs about the southland
I'm missing old mammie once again
And I think it's a sin, yes

Well I heard old Neil put it down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow

Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

[Solo - Alabam ah, ah, ah] [Riff] [Verse] Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers (oo, oo, oo)

Don Maclean-American Pie
[Intro BPM 138 - NO DRUMS]A
[G] long,
[D/F#] long time
[Em7] ago
[Am] I can still re
[C] member how that
[Em] music
used to make me
[D] smile
And
[G] I knew
[D/F#] if I had
[Em7] my chance
That
[Am] I could make those
[C] people dance and
[Em] maybe they'd be
[C] happy for a
[D] while
But
[Em] February
[Am] made me shiver,
[Em] with every
paper I'd
[Am] deliver
[C] Bad news
[G/B] on the
[Am] doorstep, I couldn't
[C] take one more step
[D]I
[G] can't remem
[D/F#] ber if I
[Em] cried when I
[Am7] read about his
[D] widowed bride
[G] Something
[D/F#] touched me
[Em] deep inside
The
[C] day the
[D7] music died
[G] [Chorus] So
[G] bye,
[C] bye Miss
[G] American
[D] Pie
Drove my
[G] Chevy to the
[C] levy but the
[G] levy was
[D] dry
And them
[G] good old
[C] boys were drinkin'
[G] whiskey and
[D] rye
Singin'
[Em*] this will be the day that I
[A7*] die,
[Em*] this will be the day that I die
[D7] (BASS IN AND DRUMS)
[Verse 2] [G] Did you write the
[Am] book of love
And do
[C] you have faith in
[Am] God above,
[Em] if the bible
[D] tells you so?
[G] Do you
[D/F#] believe in
[Em] rock and roll
Can
[Am7] music save your
[C] mortal soul and
[Em] can you teach me
[A7] how to dance
[D] real slow?
Well I
[Em*] know that you're in
[D*] love with him
'cuz I
[Em*] saw you dancin'
[D*] in the gym
You
[C] both kicked
[G/B] off your
[Am] shoes, man
I
[C] dig those rhythm and
[D7] blues
I was a
[G] lonely
[D/F#] teenage
[Em] bronckin' buck
with a
[Am] pink carnation and a
[C] pickup truck
But
[G] I knew
[D/F#] I was
[Em] out of luck the
[C] day the
[D7] music
[G] died
[C] ,
[G] I started
[D] singin'
[Chorus] So
[G] bye,

Drove my

Singin'
[Em*] this will be the day that I
[A7*] die,
[Em*] this will be the day that I die
[D7] [Verse 3] Now for
[G] ten years we've been
[Am] on our own
and
[C] moss grows fat on a
[Am] rolling stone
[Em] but that's not how it
[D] used to be
When the
[G] jester
[D/F#] sang for the king
[Em] and queen
in a
[Am7] coat he borrowed
[C] from James Dean
in a
[Em] voice that came
[A7] from you and
[D] me
Oh, and
[Em*] while the king was
[D*] looking down,
the
[Em*] jester stole his thorny
[D*] crown
The
[C] courtroom
[G/B] was ad
[A7] journed,
[C] no verdict was re
[D7] turned
And while
[G] Lennin read
[D/F#] a book
[Em] on Marx,
the
[Am] quartet practiced
[C] in the park
And
[G] we sang
[D/F#] dirges
[Em] in the dark the
[C] day the
[D7] music
[G] died
[C] ,
[G] we were
[D] singin'
[Chorus] [G] bye,
[C] bye Miss
[G] American
[D] Pie
Drove my
[G] Chevy to the
[C] levy but the
[G] levy was

[G] whiskey and
[D] rye
Singin'
[Em*] this will be the day that I
[A7*] die,
[Em*] this will be the day that I die
[D7] [Verse 4] [G] Helter skelter in a
[Am] summer swelter
[C] the birds flew off with
[Am] a fallout shelter,
[Em] eight miles high and
[D] fallin' fast
[G] It landed
[D/F#] foul
[Em] on the grass
the
[Am7] players tried for a
[C] forward pass
[Em] with the jester on the
[A7] sidelines in a
[D] cast
Now the
[Em*] half-time air was
[D*] sweet perfume,
while
[Em*] sergeants played a
[D*] marching tune
[C] We all got
[G/B] up to dance
[A7] but we
[C] never got the
[D7] chance
'Cuz the
[G] players
[D/F#] tried to
[Em] take the field,
the
[Am] marching band re
[C] fused to yield
Do
[G] you re
[D/F#] call what
[Em] was revealed the
[C] day the
[D7] music
[G] died
[C] ,
[G] we started
[D] singin'
[Chorus] [G] bye,
[C] bye Miss
[G] American

Drove my
[G] Chevy to the

Singin'
[Em*] this will be the day that I
[A7*] die,
[Em*] this will be the day that I die
[D7] [Verse 5] And
[G] there we were all
[Am] in one place
a
[C] generation
[Am] lost in space,
[Em] with
no time left to
[D] start again
So come on
[G] Jack be
[D/F#] nimble,
[Em] Jack be
quick,
[Am7] Jack Flash sat on a
[C] candle
stick,
[Em] 'cuz fire is the devil's
[A7] only friend
[D] And as
[Em*] I watched him
[D*] on the stage, my
[Em*] hands were clenched in
[D*] fists of rage
No
[C] angel
[G/B] born in
[A7] Hell could
[C] break that Satan's
[D7] spell
And as the
[G] flames climbed
[D/F#] high into
[Em]the night to
[Am] light the sacri
[C] ficial rite
I saw
[G] Satan
[D/F#] laughing
[Em] with delight
the
[C] day the
[D7] music
[G] died
[C] [G] he was
[D] singin'
[Chorus] [G] bye,

Singin'
[Em*] this will be the day that I
[A7*] die,
[Em*] this will be the day that I die
[D7] [DRUMS AND BASS STOPS][Verse 6] I
[G] met a
[D/F#] girl who
[Em] sang the blues
And I
[Am] asked her for some
[C] happy news, but
[Em] she just smiled and turned
[D] away
I
[G] went down
[D/F#] to the
[Em] sacred store
Where I'd
[Am] heard the music
[C] years before,
but
[Em] the man there said
[C] the music
wouldn't
[D] play
But
[Em*] in the streets the
[Am*] children screamed,
the
[Em*] lovers cried and the
[Am*] poets dreamed
But
[C] not a
[G/B] word was
[Am] spoken, the
[C] church bells all were
[D] broken
And the
[G] three men
[D/F#] I admire
[Em] most, the
[Am7] Father,
[C] Son, and the
[D7] Holy Ghost
[G] They caught the
[D/F#] last train
[Em] for
the coast the
[C] day the

[G] died,
[N.C.] And they were singin'
