Tabbed by: Omri Cohen

Tuned slightly flat.
 
I tabbed my version which is just like the original with some riffs placed in it.
It's a great song to improvise on.

The entire song is just the E and A chord.
 
 
[Verse 1]
  E
I once had a life, or rather
A
Life had me
      E
I was one among many
      A
Or at least I seemed to be
        E                          A
Well, I read an old quotation in a book just yesterday
            E
Said "Gonna reap just what you sow,
             A
The debts you make you have to pay."
 
Can you get to that?
 
[Chorus]
E
Can you get (I wanna know)
A
I want to know if you can get to that (hey!) (get to that!)
E
Can you get (can you get to that)(I wanna know)
A
I want to know if you can get to that
 
[Verse 2]
E
I recollect with a-mixed emotions all the 
A
good times we used to have
E
But you were making preparations for the coming separation and you 
A
Blew everything we had
E
When you base your love on credit and your 
A
loving days are done
E
Checks you signed with a-love and kisses, later come back 
A
signed, "Insufficient funds" (Yeah, get to that)
 
[Chorus]
E
Can you get (I wanna know)
A
I want to know if you can get to that (hey!) (get to that!)
E
Can you get (can you get to that)(I wanna know)
A
I want to know if you can get to that
 
[Verse 3]
E
When you base your life on credit and your 
A
loving days are done
E                                                           A
The checks you signed with love and kisses, later come back signed, "Insufficient funds"
 
Y'all get to that
 
[Chorus]
E
Can you get (I wanna know)
A
I want to know if you can get to that (hey!) (get to that!)
E
Can you get (can you get to that)(I wanna know)
A
I want to know if you can get to that

(F#m) works with (A). I heard it this way. It's a little tricky but all of the added notes are all in the (E) and the (A) chord shapes. Stretching out your pinky finger up to the 4th fret then down to the 3rd fret (while staying in the (E) chord shape) will keep everything lined up for the next move, which is barred at the 2nd fret with a quick pull off back to the (E). marked-(*) (Corrected after the intro into the verse).

Funkadelic is a monster band!

I feel like it's an A6 instead of an A 0
