[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

'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
