One hit wonder with two chord.  I suggest you play the
intro only in position V & VII then the entire song in
position X & XII. Chords are played with the traditional
disco rythm.  Hard on the wrist.

N.С.                  | D
Everybody was | kung-fu fighting
                           | Em
those kicks were | fast as lighting
                         | D
in fact it was a | little bit frightening
                         | Em
but they fought | with expert timing
 
                 | D                                 | Em     |
They were | funky china man, from | funky china town

They were | chopping men up, they were | chopping men down
           | D                          | Em                    |
It's an | ancient chinese art and every | body knew their part
           | D                                   | A      ||
>From a | fainting to a slip and a | kicking from the hip
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Everybody was kung-fu fighting  (spoken - huh!)
those kicks were fast as lighting
in fact it was a little bit frightening  (spoken -yeah, yeah)
but they fought with expert timing
 
 
[Verse]
 
There was funky Billy Chen and little Sammy Chong
He said, here comes the big boss! (spoken -Where?) lets  get it on
We took them all and made a stand, started swaying with the hands
Sudden motion made me skip, now were into a brand new trick
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Everybody was kung-fu fighting  (spoken - huh!)
those kicks were fast as lighting (spoken -hah!)
in fact it was a little bit frightening  (spoken -huh!)
but they fought with expert timing (spoken -hah!)
 
 
[Bridge]
                              (A)
Bm Em  X2
 
oh whoa...... (spoken -hah!) oh whoa...... (spoken -hah!)
oh whoa...... (spoken -huh!) oh whoa...... (spoken -hah!)
(this is continued through final verse, fades out)
 
Kung-fu fighting,  It's as fast as lighting (repeat then fade out)

Last chord of each verse should be an A major.

oldy hawn
This song is in D...in the key of D, Em is the minor 2 chord.A is the all important 5 chord here,which often announces/signals the end of a section. I don't see A major anywhere in this song chart,so I gave it a 3.Most of the song is correct,but you must play the 5 chord,A at the end of the verses.
