The "hey yo hey yo hey yo hey yo" section was replaced with an
improvised solo here but add back in if you prefer.
 
Additional Notes:
1) Where you place the capo is sometimes different for each individual's voice.
   I know that is common sense to most, but I had some comments that I needed to respond to! Thanks!
2) I play this version of the song acoustically.

[Intro]
 
Em  Am7  C  B7
Just feel this part out, I like to play it about 2-4 times
depending if using a looper and background, or more to add more layers.
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
       Em        Am7
Shorty get down, good Lord
C                     B7
Baby got 'em open all over town
         Em            Am7
Strickly biz she don't play around
      C                 B7
Cover much grounds, got game by the pound
Em                  Am7
 Gettin paid is her forte
         C              B7
Each and every day true player way
  Em                     Am7
I can't get her outta my mind
  C                            B7
I think about the girl all the time
Em                Am7
 East side to the west side
          C                 B7
Push your fat rides aint no surprise
Em                     Am7
 She got tricks in the stash
                C                  B7
Stacking up the cash, fast when it comes to the gas
Em           Am7
 By no means average
C                          B7
She's on when she's got to have it
Em                  Am7

            C             B7            Em
I wanna get in, can I get down so I can win
 
 
[Chorus] x2
 
                   Am7
I like the way you work it
   C                 B7

[Verse 2]
 
       Em        Am7
She's got class and style
C                     B7
street knowledge by the pound.
         Em            Am7
Baby never act wild
      C                 B7
very low key on the profile.
Em                  Am7
Catching feelings is a no
         C              B7
So let me tell you how it goes.
  Em                     Am7
Curves the words, spins the verbs
         C              B7
Lovers it curbs so freak what you heard 
 
       Em        Am7
Rollin' with the phatness
C                     B7
you don't even know what the half is
         Em            Am7
You got to pay to play
      C                 B7
just for shorty, bang bang, to look your way.
Em                  Am7
(so) I like the way you work it.
         C              B7
Trumped tight, all day, every day
  Em                     Am7
You're blowing my mind, maybe in time
            C             B7       Em
Baby I get you in my ride
 
 
[Chorus] x2
 
                   Am7
I like the way you work it
   C                 B7
No Diggity, I got to bag it up **
Em                 Am7
 I like the way you work it
   C                 B7
No Diggity, I got to bag it up *
 
 
[Solo]
 
Just make something up here for acoustic jams, have fun here!
with capo on 2nd fret
slide into it from 2-7 fret on 5th string
use 5,7,9 frets on 4th string and 7,9 frets on 3rd
feel it out for, use hammer on/offs or bending, and try to match the verse
 
 
[Chorus] x2
 
                   Am7
I like the way you work it
   C                 B7
No Diggity, I got to bag it up **
Em                 Am7
 I like the way you work it
   C                 B7
No Diggity, I got to bag it up *

I really enjoy your responses to the criticisms. what an awesome way to keep it positive and still respond. I could take some lessons on that because my initial thought would have been f×@× o##! excellent tab. super fun with the acoustic because you can bring a little bit of jazz....funk....its excellent thank you.

Sick thanks for taking that time do this this! I find it funny all the haters came here to learn how to play a song and dump on it saying they know a better way play it. This is a community, musicians need to help each other grow, not rip people to shreds. It plays perfectly over the Original. Don't stop posting and keep rocking!
