[E7]Hey! Once I was a boogie singer
[E7]Playin' in a rock'n'roll band
[E7]I never had no problems, yeah
[E7]Learnin' on the one-night stands
[E7]Well, everything 'round me, yeah
[E7]Got to start feelin' so low
[E7]At night I started quickly, yes I did
[E7]To just go down and check out the show
[E7]Yeah, there was dancin' and singin'
[E7]And movin to the groovin'
[E7]And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and [F]shouted[F#]
[G7]Play that funky music, why boy
[G7]Play that funky music, right
Play that funky music, white[A#] boy
[E]Lay down the [E/D]boogie and [B]play that funky [B/A]music
'Til you [E7]die
[E7]Well, I tried to understand this
[E7]I thought that they were outta their minds
[E7]Could I be so foolish, how could I
[E7]To not see I was the one behind
[E7]So still I kept on fightin'
[E7]But losing every step of the way
[E7]I said, I must go back there
[E7]I got to go back
[E7]And check to see if things still the same
[E7]Yeah, there was dancin' and singin'
[E7]And movin to the groovin'
[E7]And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and [F]shouted[F#]

[B/A]'Til you die
[E7]
[E7]Now first it wasn't easy
[E7]Changing rock'n'roll and minds
[E7]And things were gettin' shaky
[E7]I thought I'd have to leave it behind
[E7]But now it's so much better, it's so much better
[E7]I'm funkin' out and up every way
[E7]But I'll never lose that feelin', no I won't
[E7]Of how I learned my lesson that day
[E7]Yeah, there was dancin' and singin'
[E7]And movin to the groovin'
[E7]And just when it hit me
