[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

Playin' in a rock-and-roll band

Burnin' down the one-night stands
And everything around me

Yes, I did
To disco down and check out the show

'Til you die?

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

I said, I must go back there
I got to go back
And check to see if things still the same

Band Aid-Do They Know Its Christmas
[Intro - No drums]| C | % | % | % |
[Verse] It's Christmas
[F] time,
[G] there's
no need to
[C] be afraid
At Christmas
[F] time, we
[G] let in light
and we
[C] banish shade
And in our
[F] world of
[G] plenty we can
[C] spread a smile of
[F] joy
Throw your
[Dm] arms around the
[G] world
at Christmas
[C] time
[Vamp - Drums in][C] [Verse]But say a
[F] prayer,
[G] pray for the
[C] other ones
At Christmas
[F] time it's
[G] hard, but
when you're
[C] having fun
[Bridge]There's a
[F] world outside your
[G] window
And it's a
[C] world of dread and
[F] fear
Where the
[Dm] only water
[G] flowing is
The
[C] bitter sting of
[F] tears
And the
[Dm] Christmas bells that
[G] ring there
Are the
[C] clanging chimes of
[F] doom
Well to
[Dm] night, thank God, it's
[G] them instead of
[C] you
[Chorus] And there
[F] won't be snow in
[G] Africa this
[C] Christmastime
The
[F] greatest gift they'll
[G] get this year is
[C] life (oh-oh-oh)
Oh, where
[F] nothing ever
[G] grows
No
[C] rain or rivers
[F] flow
[Dm] Do they know it's
[G] Christmastime at all
[Quick keyboard riff][C][C][F][C] [Middle 8 - Just bass drum] [Am] Here's to you
Raise a
[G] glass for everyone
[Am] Here's to them
Under
[G] neath that burning sun
[F] Do they know it's
[G5] Christmastime at
[C] all?

[Verse 1]I
[E] hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since
[E7] I don't know when
I'm
[A] stuck at Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin'
[E] on
But that
[B7] train keeps a-rollin' on down to San A
[E] ntone
[Verse 2]When
[E] I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,
always be a good boy; don't e
[E7] ver play with guns.'
But I
[A] shot a man in Reno, just to watch him di
[E] e
when I
[B7] hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and
[E] cry
[Solo] E | E7 | E | E7
A | A | E | E
B7| B7| E |
[Verse 3]I
[E] bet there's rich folks eatin' from a fancy dining car
They're probably drinking coffee and s
[E7] moking big cigars
But I
[A] know I had it coming, I know I can't be
[E] free
But tho
[B7] se people keep a moving, and that's what
[E] tortures me
[Solo] E | E7 | E | E7
A | A | E | E
B7| B7| E |
[Verse 4] Well, if they
[E] freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little
[E7] farther down the line
[A] Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to
[E] stay
And I'd
[B7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a
[E] way
[End][Notes]Solo whilst playing backbeat 1. Play up with first finger off beat notes against the snare hits - mainly notes on B and high E string - add
vibrato and slides to make it lively - use little finger to fret notes so can mute rest of strings with other fingers of left hand
- can also play double stops and 3 notes pull offs (i.e. E - 5p3p0)
Can use 3rd finger if want to apply more vibrato and give left hand more space to work against the capo
Rhythm 1 2&1&2&1

[Verse 2] [Dsus2] I'm coming out of my
[Dmaj7sus2] cage
And I've been doing just
[G] fine
Gotta gotta be down because I want it all
[Dsus2] It started out with a

How did it end up like

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
[Dsus2] Now I'm falling asleep
[Dmaj7sus2] And she's calling a

While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
[Dsus2] Now they're going to
[Dmaj7sus2] bed
And my stomach is
[G] sick
And it's all in my head but she's touching his
[Bridge][Bm] Chest now, he takes off her
[Asus4] dress now
let me
[G] go
[Bm] And I just can't look its
[Asus4] killing me
And
[G] taking control
[Chorus 2][Dsus2] Jealousy,
[G] turning saints in
[Bm] to the sea
[Asus4] Swimming through sick
[Dsus2] lullabies
[G] Choking on your
[Bm] alibis
[Asus4] but it's just the
[Dsus2] price I pay
[G] Destiny is
[Bm] calling me
[Asus4] Open up my
[Dsus2] eager

Yes, I did
To disco down and check out the show

How could I be so foolish
To not see I was the one behind

I said, I must go back there
I got to go back
And check to see if things still the same

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
