A Shot of Rhythm & Blues chords
Start Jamming...
Or when your hands start a-clappin' and your fingers start a-poppin'
But your feet wanna move around
[F#] Then [G] you start to swing and sway
And the band begins to play
[D] With a real cool way out sound
[Am] [A] Then you get the cat, help [G] it soon, you can't sit down
[A] Feel like you wanna [G] move round and round
Need a shot of rhythm and blues
Put the little [D] rock and roll on the side
Just for good measure
Need a pair of dancing shoes
With your lover [A] by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure
Don't [D] you worry about a thing
[G] You start to dance and sing
[D] And let your bum come up on you
When [G] the beat then finally gets you on the beat
Get your tail out
[A]
Here's a thing for [D] you to do
Now, now, [G]
