Marvin Gaye - Let's get it on (+ Jack Black, Wendy Colonna) It seems much easier to transpose down a half step than trying to play Eb Cm7 Ab Bb7 the other tab uses. I made some adjustments to those chords. You can use these chord forms get a nice increase in pitch through the four chords. EADGBe D XX0232

F#   244322 (works better than Bm7)
G    355433 (bridge uses G7  353433, and E 022100 or E7)

A 577655 That gets a nice bass line in the 4th string (0,4,5,7) -- don't know if that's a reason for dropping the 7ths (F#7 & A7) used in the other version and the Wendy Colonna that follows. --Arthur Marks CAPO 2 (for Jack Black, "High Fidelity"--http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkp26Bt97p0&NR)

Let's get it on Let's get it on Let's get it on repeat and fade Wendy Colonna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFK_jSwKp-E A different acoustic take. She hits top note twice and then strums once for each chord the 6th string on the G, the 5th on the E7 and C, and the 4th on the D7). The timing with singing is very tricky for me. --Arthur Marks CAPO 4 G E7 C D7
