This is the last song on 5 Man Acoustical Jam, and just shows you

what a good tune you can make with completely nil technical

difficulty.

  Tommy tunes normally, and Frank plays slide with open E (EBEG#BE)

tuning. Brian's bass line is VERY repetitive, but utterly essential.

  The final (That's all folks) section I have transcribed with Tommy

playing chords, and Frank playing lead, but since it's quite tricky

to play the lead with a slide on your finger, Tommy could well be

doing it (and I'm imagining the chords). Decide for yourselves.

  I apologize for any confusion Tommy's part may cause-I have

written some bars as chords with the rhythnm shown, and others with

full tablature, and others still with both. I know it's very

unconventional, but it's both lazy and complete , giving both the

notes and the rhythm

Lyrics:



(Spoken) Aw take it away Frankie baby!







I'm on a ride on out into the sun

and I won't be back til the mornin' come  <'comes' 2nd time>

I'm gettin down fo' boogie

I'm not alone



I said a come on, come on, gather round

'cause we're all gonna party down

I'm gettin down fo' boogie

I'm not alone   Oh







Mr Skeoch











I'm gettin' down fo' boogie

Down fo' boogie

I'm gettin' down fo' boogie

I'm not alone, yes I do

I'm gettin' down fo' boogie

I'm not alone, tell me how 'bout you?

I'm gettin down fo' boogie

I'm not alone

Aw'haw!
