Okay, so here's a simplified version of footloose.

Okay, so I'm going to start out with an A

Okay, so here's a simplified version of footloose.
We're going to start with an [C] A and what I'm going to do is I'm going to flatten my finger
[F] My first finger [A] on the second fret here
Playing A like this as opposed to this. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Okay, so I'm going to start out with an A
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D#] So I'm going to sing a little bit [E] of the verse here so you can kind of see I'm going to go back and forth between
the A and a D [A] now
_ Been working so hard
I'm punching my card
[B] So you can see I'm going back and forth between the A [A] and the D
8-0's for work, don't tell me what I got
[F#] And then you're going [D] to hang on to the D
I've got this feeling
_ Time's just holding [A] me down
Just _ _ _ _ hang on to the A
Then [F#] you're going to go to [D] D
I'll hit the ceiling
To a D sharp
[D#] Diminished
[F#] _ And then I'll set [E] up the town heat
_ [C#] Now this is where it [F#] gets a little tricky
We're going to play [E] an E
_ _ [C] And what we're going to do is use our first and our third [F#m] finger
[F#] _ _ Leave the other two strings open
That being [F#m] the E
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ I'll have the tab there so you can kind of see as I play it
So again it goes from the E
_ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C#] So basically it's a movable [F#] shape
But the [D#] first way I do it here
[A] _ _ [F#m] _
_ [B] _ _ I've got my first finger here on the second fret
And then my ring finger on the [F#] fourth fret of the fourth string
So I've got this
_ [Em] _ And I bring it up
And I'm going to add my pinky now to the fifth fret of the second string
[E] _ _ _
[B] And then lift up the pinky [G#] again
Keep that same [E] shape _
So again
And _ [A] _ _ [F#] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#] it goes back to the chorus
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now I've [A] got to come loose
Get _ _ _ [D] your [A] Sunday shoes
_ These new knees
[D] _ And that's [A] the progression right there
A B A
[D] _
_ D [A] A _ _ _
G D A
[G] G D [A] A _
So [G#m] every once in a while at the [B] end of that phrase
The chorus [G] goes
G D [A] A
G D [D] A
And _ [C]
you're also [F#] going to do the G and the D
At the very end of the song as [A] well
When he goes
Everybody cut, [G] everybody cut
[D]
[A#] Everybody cut, everybody cut
[G#] Everybody cut, everybody cut
So there's a few other times you're going to do [B] that
But for the most part
If you want to get away with playing the bare bones of it
[D] That's pretty much what I would suggest
I almost forgot one other little part in the song
Sort of a breakdown
And [A] you can hang on the A
Where he goes
You've got to turn it around
And put your feet on the ground
_ Let this hold
And then he goes
You can hang on the E7 if that
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And _ [A#] then it goes right [F#m] back into the
