VERSE 1-
[G]Shakin' up is all that we know

CHORUS 2
[F]You're out of touch
[Amin(add11)/D]I'm out of time[G]
[Am9]But I'm ou[G6]t of my he[Fmaj7]ad when you're not[E] around

[F]Ooh
[Amin(add11)/D]Oh-woh-oh (ohhhhhh[G]hhhhhhhh, that's right . . .)
BRIDGE - Key change here - play the following chord progression as Daryl freestyles and T-Bone shows off...
[D] [Dm7] [D] [Dm7] [D] [Dm7]
CHORUS 3 - The band sings the third chorus a cappela, clapping out the beat - there's a
short break right before "FINAL CHORUS" (after the band sings their last "you're out of
touch" in "CHORUS 3"), where they strum out . . .
E E E E . . . about 12 times
and then . . .
FINAL CHORUS
[F]You're out of touch
[Amin(add11)/D]I'm out of time[G]
[Am9]But I'm ou[G6]t of my he[Fmaj7]ad when you're not[E] around
[F]You're out of touch
[Amin(add11)/D]I'm out of time [G]
[Am9]But I'm ou[G]t of my he[Am9]ad when you're no[G]t around . . .
Repeat this progression over and over again as Daryl freestyles, and when the song
finally comes to and end, bang out an "Amin" as the closing chord.
NOTE: If some of this tablature seems unclear (i.e. the rhythm, the timing, the
transitions, the ending, etc.), just listen to the song - it should be pretty self-explanatory.
Also, feel free to replace "Amin(add11)/D" with a basic "Dm" if it sounds better.
This tab should also work fairly well with the studio recording.
