Play That Funky Music Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
Hey do it [E]now, yeah hey

[Verse 1]
Hey- ah, once I [E]was a boogie singer
Playing in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems, yeah
Burning down the one-night stands
Then [E]everything around me, yeah
It got to start to feeling so low
And I decided quickly, yes, I did, heh
To disco down and check out the show

[Pre-chorus 1]
Yeah, they were [E]dancing and singing
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me

[Chorus 1]
Somebody turned around and shouted
[G]"Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
[G]Play that funky music, [Bb]white boy
[C]Lay down the boogie
and [Bm]play that funky music 'til you

[Interlude 1]
[E](die)"

[Verse 2]
'Til you die I [E]tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish, how could I
To not see I was the one behind?
So [E]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

[Pre-chorus 2]
Yeah, they were [E]dancing and singing
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me

[Chorus 2]
Somebody turned around and shouted
[G]Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music [Bb]white boy
[C]Lay down the boogie
and [B]play that funky music till you

[Interlude 2]
[E](die)"
'Til you die Oh 'til you die

[Solo 1]
(Gonna play some electrified funky music
[E][E][E][E]
[E][E][E][E]

[Verse 3]
Now [E]first it wasn't easy
Changin' rock and roll and minds
Yeah, things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh, but [E]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

[Pre-chorus 3]
When they were [E]dancing and singing
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me

[Chorus 3]
Somebody turned around and shouted
[G]Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music [Bb]white boy
[C]Lay down the boogie
and [B]play that funky music till you

[Interlude 3]
[E](die)"
'Til you die Oh, 'til you die

[Chorus 4]
They shouted [G]play that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(You gotta keep on playin' funky music)
Play that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Play that funky music

[Chorus 5]
(Want to take you higher, ya)
[A]Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
[A]Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
[Fade out]
