                                   Gm
Let's have a little bit of rhythm (wooooo!) and 

                G
a little bit of blues now.

            E
And now the swinging bass guitar, one time.
And then you got cold ryhthm and blues. [Verse 1]
B           E
So, if your hands start a-clapping and your fingers 

                                    Em     E
start a-popping and your feet start moving around.

           A
And if you start to swing and sway when the band starts 

          E
to play a real cool and way-out sound.

           B                                 A
And if you just can't help it, and you can't sit 

          B                        A
down, you feel like you gotta move around.
[Chorus]
A
You need a shot of rhythm and blues with just a little 

         E
rock and roll on the side just for good measure.

    A
You need a pair of dancing shoes with your lover by 

     Bm                              B
your side then you know you're gonna have a lot of pleasure.
[Verse 2]
          E                            A
Don't you worry about a thing when you start to dance 

               E
and sing until chills do come up on you.

             A
And when the rhythm finally gets you and the beat hits you, 

     B                           Em
too, here's the thing for you to do..(come, on! hey!)
[Interlude] Am Em Am Bm [Chorus]
A
I need a shot of rhythm and blues with just a little

[Verse 3]
          E                            A

               E
and sing until chills do come up on you.

             A

     B                           Em

[Outro]
B                           E
Here's the thing for you to do..(one time!!)

B                        E                B Bm
Get a shot of rhythm and blues..(hey!!!).......

Am         E
