Let's Get It On

Tuning: E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 (low to high)

EADGBe
[F#]   244322 (works better than [Bm7])
G    355433 (bridge uses G7  353433, and E 022100 or E7)

     That gets a nice bass line in the 4th string (0,4,5,7) -- don't know if that's a
reason for dropping the 7ths (F
that follows.  --Arthur Marks

[G7]                                                   [D]  [F#]

repeat and fade

A different acoustic take. She hits top note twice and then strums once for each chord
the 6th string on the G, the 5th on the E7 and C, and the 4th on the D7). The timing with
singing is very tricky for me. --Arthur Marks
