When I first searched the OLGA for James Brown stuff, I was shocked to see that no one had tabbed these so here it goes... This is a funk essential. Everyone should know this song. It is very, very simple, yet funky. Great to jam to. INTRO E--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--| B--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--| G------------------------------| D------------------------------| A------------------------------| E------------------------------| The rest of the song is basically in two parts... The normal verse and the bridge. NORMAL VERSE - (PART ONE: This is repeated about 30 times, so listen to the album for time changes) E--6----6----8----6--| B--6----6----6----6--| G--------------------| D--------------------| A--------------------| E--------------------| BRIDGE - (This is also repeated a lot, so listen to the album for time changes) E--13----11--9--10--11--| B--13----11--9--10--11--| G-----------------------| D-----------------------| A-----------------------| E-----------------------| Now, they go back into the normal verse, but first they play this intro to the regular verse: BACK INTO REGULAR VERSE (Not sure on this part, it doesn't sound right so, someone please help me!) E--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--| B--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--| G-----------------------| D-----------------------| A-----------------------| E-----------------------| Back to regular verse now, but first chord played only once: REGULAR VERSE - (PART TWO: Check album for time changes) E--6----8----6--| B--6----6----6--| G---------------| D---------------| A---------------| E---------------| This part played to finish song. Play the same thing as the BACK TO REGULAR VERSE part. I am unsure that is the right chord however, so someone please help me out! So there you have it. A great funky groove. This is my first tab, so any suggestions are appreciated. My [email protected]
