Get Up I Feel Like Being Like a Sex Machine

James Brown
Tab
★4.4(58)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Intro

e|------------------------------|
B|--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--|
G|--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--|
D|--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--|
A|--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--|
E|------------------------------|

The rest of the song is basically in two parts... The normal verse and the bridge.

[Verse 1] - (PART ONE: This is repeated about 30 times, so listen to the album for time changes)

e|--6----6----8----6--|
B|--6----6----6----6--|
G|--6----6----6----6--|
D|--5----5----5----5--|
A|-6----6----6--------|
E|--------------------|

[Bridge] - (This is also repeated a lot, so listen to the album for time changes)

e|--13-13--11-11--9--10--11--|
B|--11-11--11-11--9--10--11--|
G|--11-11--11-11--9--10--11--|
D|--10-10--10-10--8--9---10--|
A|---------------------------|
E|---------------------------|

Now, they go back into the normal verse, but first they play this intro to the regular verse:

Interlude

e|------------------------------|
B|--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--|
G|--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--|
D|--10--10--10--10--10--10--10--|
A|--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--|

Back to regular verse now, but first chord played only once:

[Verse 2] - (PART TWO: Check album for time changes)

e|--6----6----8----6--|
B|--6----6----6----6--|
G|--6----6----6----6--|
D|--5----5----5----5--|
A|-6----6----6--------|
E|--------------------|

This part played to finish song. Play the same thing as the

BACK TO REGULAR VERSE part.
