[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."
