Greetings buddies, let's shake our bodies to the [F] ground.
[E] [A]
[E] [F]
[B] Okay, [N] great song, just two chords for the whole song, all the way through.
We've just got, I was playing [G] there, just a G, [G] F, [F] G, F, okay?
And over that, play this nice little funky riff.
[C]
[B] [G]
[E] [F] [G] [E]
[C#] [G] [Dm] Sound cool?
[G] Double [Dm] stops, F and A, 6 and 5, [E] then E and [C] G, 5 [G] and 3, and then a G.
But just the top three strings, B, D and G.
4, 3, 3, so [Dm] F, A, 6, 5, [Em] E, G, 5, 3, [G] 4, 3, [Dm] 3.
[B]
[E] [G]
[G] Okay, and then also, I was playing on, just a little bit on there,
adding a bit of, [F]
[G] [F]
[D]
just adding some little muted, [F]
towards the end of the song,
there's a bit of that that comes into play, and you know, it varies,
but basically, we're just, I'm just playing a G, an F, an [G] A note.
You know, and variations of that, [F]
[G] whatever you want to throw in there,
you know, because it mixes it up a little bit on the record,
but it's basically around there.
Now, there's a nice brass part in the track,
so I thought I'd do a version of that [F] on the [A] guitar.
[D]
[F] [D] [F]
[D] Great little line there.
So I'm playing, I'm starting on a D, E, F, F, 3 Fs.
So 12, 14, 15, [F]
so 5 Fs, then D, E, F again,
and then I'm playing the same again, D, E, F, F, F, F,
and then G, [Dm] A, [E] F, G.
[F]
[G] So [D#] G, A, [C] 12, 14, [D] 15, 12.
Okay, and then starting the same again, same as before,
and then I'm playing, so D, E, 3 Fs, [A]
G, A, C, B.
So 12, 14, 13, 12, then G, A, so 12, 14, [F] then F [G] on 15,
then finish on G, [A] back on 12.
So I'll just put that all together again.
[G]
[F]
[G] There you go, great little bit.
Now we'll just throw in the bass line.
[E]
[F] [E]
[C] So the bass line I'm playing is [G] G on 3,
[A] then going to A, 7th fret [D] of the D string,
[G] and then a G, 5 on the D string.
[D] Then a D on [E] 5, [F] F on [E] 8, E [D] on 7, back to D [E] on 5.
[D] And then [G] again, G, A, G, just [E] like before,
[F]
but this time just 2 Fs.
So it's the same as the first time, just [G] 2 Fs on the second time round.
[F]
[E] [E] [D]
[E] [D] Okay, so it's great fun.
Enjoy shaking your body.
