[Wild Cherry-Play That Funky Music][Intro Riff BPM 109 - reminder of start E - 00 A - 757] [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 die."

Lynyrd Skynyrd-Sweet Home Alabama
[Intro - BPM 98 - riff on own - then riff and drums]
(notes - Wheels, Well I Heard, In Birmingham, Muscle Shoals)
[Verse]
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
[Riff]
Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her (oo, oo, oo)
Well I heard old Neil put it down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
A southern man don't need him around anyhow
[Chorus]
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
[Solo 1]
In Birmingham they loved the governor (oo, oo, oo F to C bit)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
[Chorus]
Here I come Alabama
[Solo - Alabam ah, ah, ah]
[Riff]
[Verse]
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers (oo, oo, oo)
And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes, they do)
Lord they give me oh so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?
[Chorus] F to C bit at end
