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

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

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