lets get it on

D    XX0232
F#m  244222 (works better than Bm7, Cm7 in version 1)
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. I've only done a few tabs so comments are welcome.  --Arthur Marks

D         F#m    G       A
I've been really tryin , baby
D         F#m    G       A
Tryin to hold back this feeling for so long
D         F#m    G       A
And if you feel, like I feel baby, then
D         F#m    G       A
Come on, oh come on,

[Verse]
D         F#m    G       A
We're all sensitive people

G7                                                   D  F#m  A
Don't you know how sweet and wonderful, life can be
G7                                          D  F#m  A
I'm askin you baby, to get it on with me

                                A
Stop beatin round the bush....  (open chord, not barred)


[Chorus]
   (x2 and fade)
                   D  F#m G  A
   Let's get it on
                   D  F#m G  A

   Let's get it on
                   D  F#m G  A
   Let's get it on



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
