[Intro]
              E7         
Hey do it now ■  yeah hey
                    E7    
Once I was a boogie singer
             E7                
Playin' in a rock and roll band


[Verse]
               E7           
I never had no problems yeah
                 E7              
Burnin' down the one night stands
                E7            
Then everything around me yeah
               E7            
Got to stop to feelin' so low
              E7               
And I decided quickly yes I did
                  E7                
To disco down and check out the show
     E7       
Yeah they were
            E7                                
Dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
                 E7                                       
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted


[Chorus]
G7                             
Play that funky music white boy
                G7

                      Bb7   C7

C             Bm7                        D7                
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music 'til you die
E7                       
'til you die oh yeah yeah
     E E7   E        E7             
Well ■ ■  I tried to understand this


[Verse]
  E7                                       
I thought that they were out of their minds
                  E      
How could I be so foolish
                 E7            
To not see I was the one behind
                   E7      
So still I kept on fighting
                              E  
Well losing every step of the way
                 E7        
I said I must go back there
                    A                E   
And check to see if things still the same
E7   E         E7                                            
Yeah they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
                 E7                                       
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted


[Chorus]
G7                             
Play that funky music white boy
                G7

         E     E7  
'til you ■ die yeah
        E7     
Oh 'til you die


[Inst]
                    E7  
Now first it wasn't easy


[Verse]
                  E7            
Changin' rock and roll and minds
                         E7   
Yeah things were getting shaky
                      E7             
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
E7                           
Oh but now its so much better
E7                          
I'm funking out in every way
                         E7     
But I'll never lose that feelin'
E7                                 
Of how I learned my lesson that day
                           E7                                
When they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
                                        G7                
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
