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

Playing Notes:
1. Just one bass guitar (looped) and one rhythm guitar. As with many classics,
this song is very easy to play. Just get the rhythm down and you are set.
2. I am omitting lyrics since the whole song is based on this simple arrangement.
3. Official song history: http://www.koolandthegang.com/history/history_1972.html
