Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music

intro : Em
verse 1

Em7
hey once i was a boogie singer playin’ in a rock and roll band
i never had no problems burning down them one night stands
and everything around me got to stop to feelin’ so low
and i decided quickly yes i did to disco down and check out the show
chorus
D Em D E D E D E
yeah they was dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
D Em D Em D Em
and just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

verse 2

Em7
i tried to understand this i thought that they were out of their minds
