IF YOU HAVE TO ASK CHORDS

[Intro]

[Verse]
D7                  G7                      
A wanna be gangster thinkin' he's a wise guy
D7          G7                                 
Rob another bank he's a sock 'em in the eye guy
D7   G                           
Tank head Mr Bonnie and Clyde guy
D7              G        G7              
Look him in the eye he's not my kinda guy
D7          G7 G                 
Never wanna be confusion proof oh
D7        G                     
Pudding's sweet but too aloof oh
D7         G                             
Orange eye girl with black slide Dew said
D7                            G                                           
Yo Homie who you talkin' to a backed up paddy wagon macking on a cat's ass
D7  G                                      
One uppercut to the cold upper middle class
D7      G                      
Born to storm on boredom's face
D7           G7                             
And a little lust to the funky ass Flea bass
G7                                    
Most in the race just lose their grace
D7  G                            
The blackest hole in all of space
D7           G                       
Crooked as a hooker now suck my thumb
G7                         
Anybody wanna come get some


[Chorus]
               F7 
If you have to ask
Cm7              
You'll never know
      F7                                  
Funky motherfuckers will not be told to go
               F7 
If you have to ask
       F7        
You'll never know
                        C7               
Funky motherfucker will not be told to go


[Verse]
D7 G D7 G D G D7 G7
           
D7           G                     
Don't ask me why I'm flying so high
D7              G                       
Mr Bubble meets superfly in my third eye
D7            G                              
Searchin' for a soul bride she's my freakette
D7         G                          
Soak it up inside deeper than a secret
D7   G                      
Much more than meets the eye
       D7     G                    
To the funk I fall into my new ride
D  G           
My hand my hand
D7                                
Magic on the one is a medicine man
G                                            
Thinkin' of a few taboos that I ought to kill
D7               G                              
Dancin' on their face like a stage on Vaudeville
D7     G                          
I feel so good can't be understood
D7         F7      Ab7                
Booty of a hoodlum rockin' my red hood


[Chorus]
               Db7
If you have to ask
F7               
You'll never know
F7                                       
Funky motherfucker will not be told to go
               F7 
If you have to ask
C7              F7  
  You'll never know
F7                                       
Funky motherfucker will not be told to go
