verse 1 

Em7 
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 


             D   Em      D   E          D    E      D     E 
Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin' 
     D    Em      D   Em D  Em 
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted 

Gm7 
Play that funky music white boy play that funky music right 
                          Bbm 
Play that funky music white boy 

Em             Bm             A7                    B7                   
Lay down a boogie and play that funky music till you die 

verse 2 

Em7 
I 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 still I kept on fighting well loosing 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 


             D   Em      D   E          D    E      D     E 
Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin' 
     D    Em      D   Em D  Em 
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted 
Gm7 
Play that funky music white boy play that funky music right 
                                   Bbm 
Play that funky music white boy 
Em7             Bm             A7                    B7                   
Lay down a boogie and play that funky music till you die 
Till you die 

verse 3 

Em7 
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

And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
