Moderate funk tempo

A----55--6-6--8-------8------5-5-6-85-----

E-6-6-------------------6-6---------------

*This can be played starting on the first fret on the A String

but I think this way is easier.

The rest is improve; but it basically follows this pattern:

G-------------------------------------------------------------8----

D--------------5-88----------------5--8---55-85-----55-6-8/10------

A----5-5-6---8-----------5-5-6--685-----66--------66---------------

E-6-6---------------6-6------------------------60------------------

G----------754------------------------------------------------------7--

D-----44-7----754-------------5-----22-------------------22-3-35-5/7---

A--5-5----------------22334455---3-3------00112233---3-3---------------

E-----------------3-3-----------------0123-----------------------------

G------------2--5------------------------

D----22-3-352-----/--8-6-----------------

A-3-3--------------------8-6-------------

E----------------------------8-6--4--6---

And that's the pattern and basically what he plays the first time thru.

He plays two bars of Bb, two of Eb, one of D, one of G, and three of C.

After each time through this routine, he plays:

G---------------------- --6-5------------------

D--8-6----------------- O ------8-6--------------

A------8-6------------- R ----------8-6----4---6-

E----------8-6---4---6- -----------------------
