[C#] [D] Grand Funk is continuing [C#] on now without you.
[A] How did [C#] that work out?
It's the full [G#] funk.
I got sucker punched [D] by the drummer into signing the ownership of the trademark of the corporation.
He told me I was supposed to protect it.
What [C] it did was gave him and Mel that [C#m] two-thirds vote that they needed to throw [C] me out of the corporation.
It's like [C#] being divorced.
[A] Try to put those two people [C#] back together.
They got divorced.
