Play That Funky Music
E
Hey once I was a boogie singer playin' in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems burning down them one night stands
And everything around me got to stop to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly yes I did to disco down and check out the show
E d E d E d E d E
Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
G
Play that funky music white boy. Play that funky music right
Bbm
Play that funky music white boy
Em D Bm A7 D E9 (riff: e d b d b g a g a b a g e d e )
Lay down a boogie and play that funky music till you die
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 of the way
I said I must go back there I got to go back and check to see if things still the same
Chorus
Now first it wasn't easy changin' rock and roll and minds
And things were getting shaky I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better it's so much better I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' no I won't of how I learned my lesson that day
Chorus
'Til you die
Oh' till you die
Jam in E
G
They shouted play that funky music (Play that funky music)
Play that funky music (You Gotta keep on playin' funky music)
Bbm
Play that funky music white boy
Em D Bm A7 D E9
Lay down a boogie and play that funky music till you die

Em Em
If the night turned cold, And the stars looked down
Em Em
And you hug yourself, On the cold, cold ground
Am7 Bm7
You wake the morning, In a stranger's coat
Em Em
No one would you see,
Am7 Bm7
Ask yourself, 'Who'd watch for me?
Em A9
‘My only friend, who could it be?'
C B7#9
It's hard to say it, I hate to say it
Em
But it's probably me
When your belly's empty, And the hunger's so real
And you're too proud to beg, And too dumb to steal
You search the city, For your only friend
No-one would you see
You ask yourself, 'Who'd watch for me?
'A solitary voice to speak out and set me free'
I hate to say it, I hate to say it
But it's probably me
Am. D
You're not the easiest person that I ever got to know
Gmaj7 Em
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
A#m. D | GM7
Some would say, I should let you go your way, You'll only make me cry
But if there's one guy, just one guy (chorus 2)
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
It's hard to say it, I hate to say it
But it's probably me
guitar solo thru verse and chorus
When the world's gone crazy, and it makes no sense
And there's only one voice that comes to your defence
And the jury's out, And your eyes search the room
One friendly face is all you need to see
Chorus 2
C B7#9 Em
I hate to say it, I hate to say, But it's probably me x4
