Ben Rector - I Wanna Dance With Somebody

hey everyone , i thought i’d take a moment to chart out ben rector’s version of
whitney houston’s “i wanna dance with somebody”
if you haven’t seen it , check it out on youtube at
awesome version of the song and fun to play . also , i know he plays in the key of
B , but i find it easier to capo on the 4th fret and play it in G . you can
transpose it back down if you’d like . enjoy .
capo 4
verse 1 :

D Em
clocks strikes upon the hour , and the sun begins to fade ,
D Em
still enough time to figure out how to chase my blues away .
Am Em G C
i’ve done alright up ’til now , it’s the light of day that shows me how ,
Am G/B C C D
and when the night falls , loneliness calls .

chorus
G C/G G
oh! i wanna dance with somebody ,
D/F# Em
i wanna feel the heat with somebody .
C
yeah! i wanna dance with somebody ,
Am D G
with somebody who loves me .
verse 2 :

D Em
i’ve been in love and lost my senses , spinning through the town ,
D Em
soon or later the fever ends , and i wind up feeling down .
Am Em
i need someone who’ll take a chance ,
G C
on a love that burns hot enough to last .
Am G/B C C D G
so when the night falls , my lonely heart calls .
