Chords for Chic - Bass - Jerry Barnes

[Cm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ Bass is so important to our groove. _ _
[D] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] All the way _ [Em] from down south in North [F] Carolina.
[Em] _ _ [C] _
There's something very [G] magical about North Carolina.
[Gb] _ _
[A] My friend, my [Em] partner, and best person in my [Am] life,
Bernard Edwards, came [Bm] from North [E] Carolina.
[Fm] And I gotta tell you, after he passed away,
I [C] never thought that I would play sheet music again.
_ And this brother called me up and said,
Nile, I'm from North Carolina.
When I was a young blood, all I would do was listen to Bernard [Dm] Edwards.
[E] If you do sheet again, please let me play.
[Gm] _ _ So I had a little audition.
I [E] swear to you.
He played five minutes.
I said, you [N] got it.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ [Gm] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
He is like my brother, _ and you will understand [F] why.
_ _ _ Because he knows all about funk.
_ _ [N] _ _
And if you want to play with sheet,
_ you got to know about the funk.
You got to know about the funk.
You got to know about the funk.
You got to fuck with the beat, move it all around.
And you can do that.
_ Ladies and gentlemen, _ [D] on bass,
_ [A] _
from _ [C] _ North [E] _ _ _
Carolina.
_ _ _ _ [C] On bass, come on.
Jerry Bonds.
