* - the chords may not make sense without the timing from the main riff above Verse 1:
             A           D                Em         
There's a destination a little up the road from the habitations and the towns we know

   A       Em      D           Bm           A
A place we saw the lights turn low with the jig-saw jazz and the get-fresh flow

       A              D        Em 
Pulling out jives and jamboree handouts two turntables and a microphone

   A       Em    D    Bm    A
Bottles and cans just clap your hands just clap your hands
Chorus 1:
E                    A
Where it's at! I got two turntables and a microphone

E                    A
Where it's at! I got two turntables and a microphone

E                    A
Where it's at! I got two turntables and a microphone

E                    A
Where it's at! I got two turntables and a microphone
["take me home in my elevator bones!"] ["that was a good drum break!"] Verse 2:
              A          D             Em
Pick yourself up off the side of the road with your elevator bones and your whip-flash tones

  A       Em    D         Bm        A
Members only hyponotizers move through the womb like ambulance drivers

           A               D          Em
Shine your shoes with your microphone blues here suits with your parachute fruits

             A     Em    D    Bm        A
Passing the dutchie from coast to coast let the man get loose while I rock the most
Chorus 2:
E                    A
Where it's at! I got two turntables and a microphone

E                    A
Where it's at! I got two turntables and a microphone
Bridge: Horn break: G E G E ["What about those who swing both ways? AC-DC's?] [Play Main riff over a lengthy instrumental break] Chorus 3:
E                    A
Where it's at! I got two turntables and a microphone

E                    A
Where it's at! I got two turntables and a microphone

             A           D                Em         
There's a destination a little up the road from the habitations and the towns we know

   A       Em      D           Bm           A
A place we saw the lights turn low with the jig-saw jazz and the get-fresh flow

       A              D        Em 
Pulling out jives and jamboree handouts two turntables and a microphone

   A       Em    D    Bm    A
Bottles and cans just clap your hands just clap your hands
Chorus 4:
E                    A
Where it's at! I got two turntables and a microphone

E                    A
Where it's at! I got two turntables and a microphone
