Get Up (I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine)
BY: James Brown
FROM: James Brown: Star Time (Disc 3: Soul Brother No. 1)
TABBED BY: Alex Brown ([email protected])
When I first searched the OLGA for James Brown stuff, I was shocked to see that no one had tabbed these tunes, so here it goes… This is a funk essential. Everyone should know this song. It is very, very simple, yet seriously funky. Great to jam to.
INTRO
E—11—11—11—11—11—11—11—
B—11—11—11—11—11—11—11—
G——————————
D——————————
A——————————
E——————————
The rest of the song is basically in two parts… The normal verse and the bridge.
NORMAL VERSE — (PART ONE: This is repeated about 30 times, so listen to the album for time changes)
E—6—-6—-8—-6—
B—6—-6—-6—-6—
G———————
D———————
A———————
E———————
BRIDGE — (This is also repeated a lot, so listen to the album for time changes)
E—13—-11—9—10—11—
B—13—-11—9—10—11—
G————————
D————————
A————————
E————————
Now, they go back into the normal verse, but first they play this intro to the regular verse:
BACK INTO REGULAR VERSE (Not sure on this part, it doesn’t sound right so, someone please help me!)
E—6—6—6—6—6—6—6—
B—6—6—6—6—6—6—6—
G————————
D————————
A————————
E————————
Back to regular verse now, but first chord played only once:
REGULAR VERSE — (PART TWO: Check album for time changes)
E—6—-8—-6—
B—6—-6—-6—
G—————
D—————
A—————
E—————
This part played to finish song. Play the same thing as the
BACK TO REGULAR VERSE part. I am unsure that is the right chord however, so someone please help me out!
So there you have it. A great funky groove. This is my first tab, so any suggestions are appreciated. My email: [email protected]
