Sex Machine

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 (eclipse1@bestweb.net)

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.

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: eclipse1@bestweb.net
