[Verse 1]
 
Am                            D       Am
 I solve my problems and I'll see the light
         D       Am              Em
We got a  lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right
Dm              C             Bb     Am
 There ain't no danger we can go too far
           D       Am              Em
We start believin' now that we can be who we are
              F        G
Grease is the word    (LICK)
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am                             D       Am
 They think our love is just a growin' pain
               D     Am                 Em
Why don't they  understand? It's just a cryin' shame
Dm              C           Bb      Am
 Their lips are lyin', only real is real
            D           Am             Em
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel
 
 
[Chorus]
 
              Am7
Grease is the word
              (Grease is the word, is the word that you heard)
         Dm7
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Am7
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Dm7                      F               G
Grease is the way we are feeling        (LICK)
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am                            D      Am
 We take the pressure, and we throw away 
         D  Am              Em
Conventionality, belongs to yesterday
Dm          C                  Bb         Am
 There is a chance that we can make it so far
           D       Am              Em
We start believin' now that we can be who we are 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
              Am7
Grease is the word
              (Grease is the word, is the word that you heard)
         Dm7
It's got groove, it's got meaning
Am7
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Dm7                      F        G
Grease is the way we are feeling      
 
 
[Middle 8]
 
Dm7                  Em7               F
 This is a life of illusion, wrapped up in troubles,
            E                           Am
Laced in confusion, what are we doin' here?     (LICK)
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
Am                            D      Am
 We take the pressure, and we throw away 
         D  Am              Em
Conventionality, belongs to yesterday
Dm          C                  Bb         Am
 There is a chance that we can make it so far
           D       Am              Em
We start believin' now that we can be who we are

              Am7
Grease is the word
              (Grease is the word, is the word that you heard)

It's got groove, it's got meaning
Am7
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Dm7                      F          G
Grease is the way we are feeling

a fret so
I like this tab because,as usual maguri is so thorough in his work, also very easy to play in the A form. I can't decide if capo 1 or 2 is better they both sound really good. And that finger on/off Am(7) over 'word' in the chorus is perfect. Best song from that movie!

The lick is wrong. The fret numbers are correct but it should be played on the B and G strings, not G and D strings.

do you know how to play the clean-sounding guitar lick? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXGcPYD-R-Y in this video, the lick is played at 0:01 - 0:03 and at 0:15. if you could tab it, it would be a huge help! thanks
