Stevie Wonder-Superstition
[Looper] Loop the main riff with drums - then you have to practise dropping it out for B section and then bringing back in - you can then have the lead sound and just build verses and closing sections or latter parts of verses where horns come in
[Intro - BPM 98]
Drums first then keyboard riff
[Verse 1]
[E]
Very superstitious, writings on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders 'bout to fall,
Thirteen-months-old baby broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
[Chorus]
When you [B] believe in [C] things that you [B] don't under [A#] stand,
Then you suf[A] fer.......................[B]
Superstition ain't the way
[E + horn descending line]
[Verse 2]
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong,
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song
[Chorus]
When you [B] believe in [C] things that you [B] don't under [A#] stand,
Then you suf[A] fer.......................[B]
Superstition ain't the way
[E + horn descending line]
[Chorus figure again - no vocals but big scream at end]
[No descending horns - just straight back to verse]
[Verse 3 - Quieter - then build back up]
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say,
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way,
Thirteen-months-old baby broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
[Chorus]
When you [B] believe in [C] things that you [B] don't under [A#] stand,
Then you suf[A] fer.......................[B]
Superstition ain't the way [Telefonics end on Way]
[E + horn descending line]

[Verse 1 - Drums in]
There's a [E] reason, for the sunshine in the sky
And there's a reason why I'm feeling so high
Must be the [B] season, when that love light shines,
all a[E] round us. [E] [E] [E] [A]
So let that [E] feeling, grab you deep inside
And send you reeling, where your love can't hide
And then go [B] stealing, through the moonlit nights,
with your [E] lover. [E7]
[Chorus]
Just let your [A] love flow, like a mountain stream
And let your [E] love grow, with the smallest of dreams
And let your [B] love show, and you'll know what I mean,
it's the [E] season. [E7]
Let your [A] love fly like a bird on the wing,
and let your [E] love bind you to all living things
And let your [B] love shine, and you'll know what I mean,
that's the [E] reason. [Esus4] (just bass drum and E to Esus4 x 2)
[Verse 2]
There's a [E] reason, for the warm sweet nights
And there's a reason, for the candle lights
Must be the [B] season, when those love lights shine,
all [E] around us. [E] [E] [E] [A]
So let that [E] wonder, take you into space
And lay you under, its loving embrace
Just feel the [B] thunder, as it warms your face,
you can't [E] hold back.[E7]
[Chorus]
Just let your [A] love flow, like a mountain stream
And let your [E] love grow, with the smallest of dreams
And let your [B] love show, and you'll know what I mean,
it's the [E] season. [E7]
Let your [A] love fly like a bird on the wing,
and let your [E] love bind you to all living things
And let your [B] love shine, and you'll know what I mean,
that's the [E] reason. [Esus4] (just bass drum and E to Esus4 x 2)
Just let your [A] love flow, like a mountain stream
And let your [E] love grow, with the smallest of dreams
And let your [B] love show, and you'll know what I mean,
it's the [E] season. [E7]
Let your [A] love fly like a bird on the wing,
and let your [E] love bind you to all living things
And let your [B] love shine, and you'll know what I mean,
that's the [E] reason. [Esus4] (fade out)

[Bridge 1]
[A7] Even though we [B7] sometimes

[A7] We were happy [B7] with the
[Em7] joy the day would [A7#5-5x566x] bring.

To [Dm7] hang out with those [G7] hoodlum friends of

With; "boy, I [Dm7] thought I told you [G7] not to go out-
[Dm7] side?" [G7] [Dm7] [G7]
[Bridge 2]
[A7] Tryin' your best to [B7] bring the

[A7] Thinkin' it might [B7] stop her, from
[Em7] whoopin' your be- [A7#5] hind.

[Em7] for Sunday [Gm6] school,
[A7] You trade yours for [B7] candy,
[Em7] after church is [A7#5] through.

And [Dm7] writing something [G7] nasty on the

[Dm7] Teacher sends you [G7] to the
[Dm7] principals of [G7] fice down the [Dm7] hall. [G7]

[A7] You grow up and [B7] learn that,
[Em7] kinda thing ain't [Gm6] right.
[A7] But while you were [B7] doin' it; it
[Em7] sure felt outta [A7#5] sight.

[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
(Drum roll - use electronic bass drum pedal)
(straight 8 notes)
----BBBB-B+SBBB-BBBB-------S

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."
'Til you die?
[Verse + Riff]
[E] I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well, losing every step by the way
... we can do
I said, I must go back there
I got to go back
And check to see if things still the same
[Pre-Chorus]
[E7#9 or 076777]
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."
'Til you die?
Oh, 'til you die
Gonna play some electrified funky music
[Solo - All over riff - E7#9]
[Verse + Riff]
[E] Hey, wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy
Changing rock-and-rolling minds
And things were gettin' shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh, but now it's so much better (it's so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' (you know, I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day
[Pre-Chorus]
[E7#9 or 076777]
Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted (drum roll)
[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."

'Til you die?
Oh, 'til you die
They shouted

"Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
You got to keep on playin' funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Gonna take you high and low."

[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
################# OUTTA LOVE ###########################################
[Chorus]
[Gm] love .... set me [D] free and let me [F] out this mise [C] ry.
Just show me the [Gm] way to get my [D] life again.

[Verse 1]
[Gm] Now baby come [D] on,
don't [F] claim that love you [C] never let me [Gm] feel.
I should have [D] known 'cause [F] you brought nothing [C] real.
Come on be a [Gm] man about it, [D] you won't die.
[D#-x65343] I ain't got no more (fast change) [Cm] tears to [D] cry,
and I [Gm] can't take this no [D] more.
You know I [D#] gotta let it [D] go and you know.[D].. (stop)

[Verse 2]
Am G Am G Am G Am G
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Am G Am
Like resignation to the end
G Am G Am G
Always the end
Am G Am G
So when we found that we could not make sense
Am G Am G
Well you said that we would still be friends
Am G Am G Am G Am G
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
[Chorus]
Am G F G
But you didn't have to cut me off
Am G F
Make out like it never happened
G Am
And that we were nothing
G F G
And I don't even need your love
Am G
But you treat me like a stranger
F G
And that feels so rough
Am G F G
You didn't have to stoop so low
Am G F
Have your friends collect your records
G Am
And then change your number
G F G
I guess that I don't need that though
Am G F G
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
G
And I don't wanna live that way
G
Reading into every word you say
G
You said that you could let it go
G N.C.
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
[Chorus]
Am G F G
But you didn't have to cut me off
Am G F
Make out like it never happened

And that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love
