Marvin Gaye - Let's get it on (+ Jack Black, Wendy Colonna)
It seems much easier to transpose down a half step than trying to play Eb Cm7 Ab Bb7 that
the other tab uses. I made some adjustments to those chords. You can use these chord forms
get a nice increase in pitch through the four chords.
EADGBe
[D] XX0232
[F#m] 244222 (works better than Bm7, Cm7 in version 1)
[G] 355433 (bridge uses G7 353433, and E 022100 or E7)
[A] 577655
That gets a nice bass line in the 4th string (0,4,5,7) -- don't know if that's a
reason for dropping the 7ths (F#7 & A7) used in the other version and the Wendy Colonna
that follows. I've only done a few tabs so comments are welcome. --Arthur Marks

A different acoustic take. She hits top note twice and then strums once for each chord
the 6th string on the G, the 5th on the E7 and C, and the 4th on the D7). The timing with
singing is very tricky for me. --Arthur Marks
