Stevie Wonder-Superstition - BPM - 107

[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]

[End]
