Verse 1

[E9]

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

[E9]

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

Pre-Chorus

[E9]

Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'

[E9]

And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Chorus

[G9]

Play that funky music white boy play that funky music right

[Bb7]

Play that funky music white boy

[Em] [D] [Bm] [A7] [D] [E9]

Lay down a boogie and play that funky music till you die

Verse 2

[E9]

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

[E9]

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

Pre-Chorus

[E9]

Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'

[E9]

And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Chorus

[G9]

Play that funky music white boy play that funky music right

[Bb7]

Play that funky music white boy

[Em] [D] [Bm] [A7] [D] [E9]

Lay down a boogie and play that funky music till you die

Solo

[E9]

Verse 3

[E9]

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

[E9]

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

Pre-Chorus

[E9]

Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'

[E9]

And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Chorus

[G9]

Play that funky music white boy play that funky music right

[Bb7]

Play that funky music white boy

[Em] [D] [Bm] [A7] [D] [E9]

Lay down a boogie and play that funky music till you die

Outro

[E9]

'Til you die

Oh' till you die

[G9]

They shouted play that funky music

(Play that funky music)

[G9]

Play that funky music

(You Gotta keep on playin' funky music)

Play that funky music

(Play that funky music)

[G9]

Play that funky music

(Come and take you higher, ya)

[A9]

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right, yeah

[A9]

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right

[A9]

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right
