Trumpet Solo


Chords and lyrics:

(Intro)
        D#
And for all of the sweet loving that
       G#
I have received

In the sun in the rain
                      A#
By the moon by the sea
There is one time that I'm thinking of
G
One time where one woman
                    D#
Did knock me off my feet
And my knees were shaking
                      G#
And my jaw was dropping
And my eyes were squinting
                     A#
And my smile was growing
And my pants were bulging
                   G
And my hands were sweating
And my chest was beating
          G#
So I cry 'excuse me,
                             A#
What is the secret to your song?'

(Verse 1)
      D#                       G#
Cause when you're walking along
A#                       G
When you're walking along:
D#                          G#
Your legs are a melody my hands
        A#
Would like to play
         G
And your hips are a note
That does take me away
D#                                    G#
And your face and your eyes and your hair
A#                            G
And your waist and your smile
                    D#
Drive me to distraction
   G#                         A#
She turned and she gave the evil eye
    G
'why thankyou' she said
         D#                       G#
Then she sigh 'ah there's one thing
A#                             G
I think you failed to mention:'
D#
'What?' I said then she said
G#
'It's the rhythm you forgot'
A#                      G
And right then I knew what was what
D#
And she snuck to my lips
G#
And she kissed them
A#
Said 'young man
G
I'll show you some rhythm'

(Trumpet Solo) D# - G# - A# - G

And she'll show you some rhythm

(Verse 2)

    Em
And since then ha
D                                  G
The rhythm's been running through my veins
                     C
In my thoughts in my eyes
                 Em
In my head it's insane
               D
It's the thing that does drive me
To scream
G 
On the street when I think of some
C
Places it's taken me
Em                D                                        G
I feel horny when I thinking of some of that rhythm in my mind
                       C
What she gave what she gives to me
           Em
All of the time
                    D
Say a little bit of sweet loving in your day
G
All my friends know it keeps the
C
Bad thoughts away
   Em                     D
So sing with your hips my baby
                            G         C
When you're dancing to this tune
        Em                   D
And when this tune is through
We'll sneak to some place
    G             C
And continue to:
D
Say sing with your hips my baby
When you're dancing to this tune
And when this tune is through
We'll sneak to some place and
Continue to -
She said I'll show you some rhythm
D# - G# - A# - G

And she'll show you some rhythm
D# - G# - A# - G
