1. Once I was a boogie singer playin' in
a rock and roll band,
E D - E - D
E D E

I never had
no problems, burnin' down the one
night stands.
E D - E

And everything around me got to start to feelin' so low,
E D
- E - D E D E - D
and I decided quickly to disco down and check out the show.
E
D E D
Yeah, they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin',
E D E D
and just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
:
Gm C
Gm C
Play that funky music, white boy, play that funky music right !
Gm Bb
play that funky music, white boy !
E - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - E D E - D
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die.
E - D E - D - E - D
Till you die, oh till you
die.

2. Now, first it wasn't easy
changin'
rock-and-rollin' minds,
E D - E-D E D
E - D
and things were getting shaky, I thought I'd have to leave it behind.

- E - D E D E - D
But now it's so much better, I'm funking out in
every way,
E D - E - D
E D
E - D
but I'll never lose that feelin' of how I learned my lesson that day.
E D E D
When, they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin',
E D E D
and just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
:
Gm C Gm C
Play that funky music, white boy, play that funky music right !

Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die.
E - D E - D - E - D
Till you
die, oh till
you die.
Gm C
They shouted, play that funky
music, play that funky music !
Gm C
Play that funky music, gotta keep on playin' funky music !
Gm
Play that funky music …
