[Intro] E9 Hey, do it now Yeah, hey

[Verse 1] E9 Hey, and once I was a boogie singer Playin' in a Rock and Roll Band I never had no problems Burnin' down the one night stands Yeah and everything around me, yeah 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, there was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin' And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

[Chorus] G9 Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music right Bb9 Play that funky music white boy C7M Esus4 E7sus4 D7 D#7 E7 E9 Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'till you die 'Till you die Oh ya, ya

[Verse 2] E9 I tried to understand this I thought that they were out of their minds How could I be so foolish To not see I was the one behind So still I kept on fighting Well, losing every step of the way I said, I must go back there And check to see if things still the same

[Pre-Chorus] E9 Yeah, there was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin' And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

[Chorus] G9 Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music right Bb9 Play that funky music white boy C7M Esus4 E7sus4 D7 D#7 E9 Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'till you die

[Bridge] 'Till you die

[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 But now it's so much better I'm funking out in every way But I'll never lose that feelin' Of how I learned my lesson that day

[Pre-Chorus] When they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin' And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

[Chorus] G9 Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music right Bb9 Play that funky music white boy C7M Esus4 E7sus4 D7 D#7 E9 Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'till you die

[Bridge] G9 They shouted play that funky music Play that funky music Play that funky music Gotta keep on playin' funky music Play that funky music Play that funky music

[Chorus] A9 Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music right Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music right Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music C7M Esus4 E7sus4 D7 D#7 E9
