[E5]
[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."
'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

[Verse 1 - New Eadd9 works better with F#m7]
I'd [Eadd9-022102] sit alone and watch your light
My [F#m7] only friend through teenage nights
And [A] everything I had to know
I [F#m7] heard it on my [A] radi [E] o
[Verse 2]
You [Eadd9] gave them all those old time stars
Through [F#m7] wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You [A] made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You [F#m7] made us feel like [A] we could [E] fly

So [E] don't become some background noise
A [Em6/G-322020] backdrop for the girls and boys
Who [A] just don't know or just don't care

You [E/B] had your time, you had the power

On [F#m7] videos for hours and hours
We [A] hardly need to use our ears
How [F#m7] music changes [A]through the years [Eadd9]
[Pre-chorus]
Let's [E] hope you never leave old friend
Like [Em6/G-322020] all good things on you we depend
So [A] stick around 'cause we might miss you

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

Gloria Gaynor-I Will Survive
[Intro]
[E7b9-020101]
[Verse 1]
At [Am] first I was afraid, I was [Dm] petrified,
Kept thinking [G] I could never live without you [Cmaj7] by my side.
But then I [Fmaj7] spent so many nights, thinking [Bm7b5-x20201] how you did me wrong,
And I grew [Esus4] strong; and I learned [E] how to get along.
And so you're [Am] back, from outer [Dm] space,
I just walked [G] in to find you here, with that sad [Cmaj7] look upon your face.
I should have [Fmaj7] changed that stupid lock,
I should have [Bm7b5] made you leave your key,
If I had [Esus4] known for just one second, you'd be [E] back to bother me.
[Chorus]
Go on now, [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door;
Just turn a [G] round now, 'cos you're not [Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to [Bm7b5] hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd [Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd [E] lay down and die?
Oh no, not [Am] I; I will sur [Dm] vive,
Oh, as [G] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got [Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur [Esus4] vive, I will sur [E] vive, hey he [Am] y
[Interlude]
[Am] [Dm] [G] [Cmaj7] [Fmaj7] [Bm7b5] [Esus4] [E]
[Verse 2]
It took [Am] all the strength I had not to [Dm] fall apart.
Kept trying [G] hard to mend the pieces of my [Cmaj7] broken heart.
And I spent [Fmaj7] oh, so many nights, just feeling [Bm7b5] sorry for myself,
I used to [Esus4] cry, but now I [E7] hold my head up high.
And you see [Am] me; somebody [Dm] new,
I'm not that [G] chained up little person, still in [Cmaj7] love with you.
And so you [Fmaj7] felt like dropping in and just ex [Bm7b5] pect me to be free,
Now I'm [Esus4] saving all my loving, for some [E] one who's loving me.
[Chorus]
Go on now, [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door;
Just turn a [G] round now, 'cos you're not [Cmaj7] welcome any more.

Did you think I'd [Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd [E] lay down and die?

Big wheels keep on turning
Carrying me home to see my kin
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

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

In Birmingham they loved the governor (oo, oo, oo F to C bit)

Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers (oo, oo, oo)

We're off to never-never land
Note : This tab for the solo is greatly inspired by the original
tab of the solo, and many thanks to the author of that tab. It
Was quite accurate but wrong in a couple of places, basiclly here
I changed it to be as close as possible to Kirk.
For the solo, James plays the main riff twice, then his part of
the prechorus, and his part of the chorus. Its amazing how well
the solo fits in.

[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
(Drum roll - use electronic bass drum pedal)
(straight 8 notes)
----BBBB-B+SBBB-BBBB-------S
Or play B drum on offbeat
SBSB SBSB SBSB SBS "shouted" for final snare
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?
[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."
[Riff]
'Til you die?
Oh, 'til you die
They shouted
[Chorus - All G7]
"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."
[Now A7]
"Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right."
