Chords for Give up the Funk - Bass Cover and Lesson

Hello, this is a transcription I've done of the Parliament song Give Up the Funk
that Bootsy Collins was a bass player on and if you're looking for ideas on how
to play this or would like to see how I play it, [E] stick around to the end and I'll
play the parts again for you.
Thanks. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ I'm going to play the verse for you right at the beginning
We're going to take the pick up into bar 9
And this will be at 80 beats per minute
_ _ 2, [A] 3, 4 _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ And with that, a couple of things I'd like to point out is
There's some little ghost notes that can really kind of help you get the feel and the sound of this song
The first one is right at the pick up into bar 9 there
It's on the [A] 3rd _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] Kind of like that
And that happens quite a bit
And there's also, _ _ _ _ _ you can [G] see in measure [E] 10 there
[F#] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ That's a nice one too
Okay, and then the next section we have is the chorus
Which happens a lot in this song
And it's pretty straight forward, but I'm going to play it for you right now
It's at 80 beats per minute again
2, 3, 4
[E] And [D] _ [D#] _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ that's pretty straight forward
Again, there's a little ghost note there that you [D] want to probably put in to give the song that feel and sound
[E] _
_ _ [D] _ [G] Okay, the next section I'd like to play for [C#] you
It's different from the others
[C#] And that is at letter F
And this is another verse, but the [G#m] rhythms he's _ [Cm] changed
And [G] he's a little more free in his playing in this section
And nice and slowly again at 80 beats per minute
1, 2, 3, 4
[E] _ _ _ _
