	[1,2: Gb /Ab (to next verse)  3,4: Fm/C (to bridge)]

Verse 2:

	We're gonna move it slow
	When lights are low
	When you move it slow, it sounds like more
	And it's all right, whoa, it's all right

Verse 3:

	Now listen to the beat
	Kinda pat your feet
	You got soul, and everybody knows
	That it's all right, whoa, it's all right

Bridge 1:

	Bbm                            Fm
	When you wake up early in the morning
	        Bbm                    Fm
	Feelin' sad like so many of us do
	Bbm           Fm
	Hum a little soul
	     (Fm)      Ebm
	Make life your goal
	     Fm     Ebm                       Fm     Ebm      Ab
	And surely something's got to come to you    And say it's...

[repeat verse 1]

Verse 4:

	Now everybody clap your hands
	Give yourself a chance
	You got soul, and everybody knows
	That it's all right, whoa, it's all right

Bridge 2:

	Someday I'll find me a woman
	Who will love and treat me real nice
	Then my woe's got to go
	And my love, she will know
	From morning, noon, and night
	And she's got to say it's...

[repeat verse 1]

Coda (guitar as per intro):

	                         Db   Gb /Ab  Db [repeat]
	Now everybody clap your hands
	Now give yourselves a chance
	You got soul... [fade]
